Set over 657 sq ft, this two-bedroom flat in Scrutton Close offers a rare long-lease auction opportunity close to Balham. The property comes with a newly issued 990-year lease and will be sold at auction (Lot 88, 18/12/2025); the vendor will not accept offers before the sale. The layout includes a reception room, separate kitchen and a wet room — practical for immediate occupation but with clear potential for cosmetic upgrading.
Located in an inner-city cosmopolitan pocket popular with commuters and young families, the flat sits around 1.1 miles from Balham rail and Underground (Northern Line) and close to local shops, parks and schools rated Good to Outstanding. The building is mid-20th century brick; internal features such as the fireplace and mid-century fittings will likely require updating for modern tastes.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor prepared to buy at auction and carry out light-to-medium refurbishment. Positive practical points include low local crime, no flooding risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. Note viewing windows are set and the property is offered as-is at auction — check the virtual tour and full particulars before bidding.
