This chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment is tucked into the heart of Upminster, less than 0.3 miles from the station and surrounded by shops, cafés and good schools. The open-plan kitchen/lounge and two double bedrooms give a practical, modern layout well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central, well-connected home.
The property includes one allocated parking space in a secure gated area, lift access, and a security entry phone system. The block dates from the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and cavity walls; the apartment’s 644 sq ft provides a compact but comfortable living footprint for town-centre life.
Important matters to note: the flat requires renovation and updating, offering scope to add value but meaning immediate works may be needed. The property is leasehold with 107 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £1,777, and a ground rent of £225 per year. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators (electric main fuel). Crime levels in the area are reported as high, which may concern some buyers.
Overall, this apartment is best for buyers who prioritise location and transport links and who are prepared to invest time or money into refurbishment. With no onward chain and private parking—rare for town-centre flats—it offers clear potential for a refreshed home or a well-placed rental investment.
