This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in James Smith Court, Dartford, is offered chain-free and sold with tenants in situ — a ready-made income purchase for investors. The flat sits in a modern mid-rise building with high-performance glazing, low-energy lighting and a private balcony off an open-plan living area. Two allocated off-street parking spaces add practical value in an urban setting.
The long lease (990 years) removes a common leasehold worry and the accommodation includes an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Practical running costs and obligations to note include an annual ground rent of £300 and a service charge in the region of £1,500–£1,800. Council tax band D applies.
Be frank about location dynamics: Dartford offers excellent transport links to the station and the M25 plus a broad range of shops, schools and amenities close by, supporting rental demand. However the property sits in an area recorded with very high crime levels, which may affect tenant profiles, insurance and some buyers’ appetite.
Overall this apartment suits investors seeking immediate rental income and long-lease security, plus landlords willing to factor service charges and local crime statistics into yield calculations. It also works for an owner-occupier comfortable buying with a tenancy in place and living with management costs.
