Offered specifically for investors, this two-bedroom first-floor flat in Southchurch is sold with a tenant in situ and a newly issued long lease on completion, making it a hands-off acquisition for a buy-to-let portfolio. The flat includes a west-facing balcony, shared off-street parking, majority double glazing and gas central heating — practical assets that support lettability in a well-connected area.
The building dates from the 1930s–40s with solid-brick construction; the apartment is modest in size (approximately 569 sq ft) and shows basic, eclectic décor. There is clear renovation potential to improve energy performance and rental value, as walls are assumed uninsulated and some modernisation would likely be needed to attract higher rents.
Buyers should weigh local context: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, though it benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and direct road and rail links to London. Nearby schools and retail amenities provide steady tenant demand; the property is offered chain free with a new 125-year lease upon completion.
