Located in busy, multicultural student area; higher local deprivation
Set on the 2nd floor of a modernist block in Elephant and Castle, this 1-bed flat offers a practical city-base or rental unit. The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen create a light, usable living space in an average-sized 503 sq ft layout. The double bedroom and sleek bathroom keep the apartment straightforward and low on immediate maintenance.
This property sits in a very well connected central location with excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal — useful for commuters, students and investors. Built within 2007–2011 and fitted with double glazing, the flat benefits from relatively recent construction standards and communal outdoor space.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold sale by auction (prior purchase possible). The lease has about 107 years remaining. Service charge (£4,084 pa) and ground rent (£400 pa) are notable ongoing costs. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be costlier than gas central heating.
Given the local area classification as an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with high area deprivation, the apartment suits first-time buyers seeking central living or landlords targeting the rental/student market. The property offers straightforward cosmetic condition with potential for resale or rental income, balanced against higher service charges and running costs.
