Chain-free and compact, this two-bedroom leasehold flat on Fairway Drive offers a practical buy-to-let or first-home opportunity in SE28. Located close to the Thames Path and local transport, the flat occupies a mid-level position in a modern low-rise brick block built around 1996–2002. The main reception benefits from good natural light and neutral decor; laminate floors run through most rooms.
Internally the layout provides two bedrooms, a family bathroom, a fitted kitchen and a spacious living room. The property appears in saleable condition but would benefit from light cosmetic updating — there are scuffed walls and worn finishes visible in the photos. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which should be considered for running-cost estimates and tenant appeal.
Practical features include a private off-street parking space, a 100-year lease remaining and chain-free status for a swift transaction. Service charge and running costs are notable: an average service charge of £2,750pa and ground rent of £200pa. Council tax is low and flood risk is very low for peace of mind.
This flat suits buy-to-let investors seeking steady rental demand in a suburban SE28 location or first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry point into London ownership. Expect modest capital growth consistent with nearby stock; value can be enhanced with straightforward cosmetic refurbishment and potential efficiency upgrades to heating and finishes.
