Bright waterside one-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor of Craig Tower, part of the modern Aqua Vista Square development. The open-plan reception benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony facing the canal, offering generous natural light and a city-waterfront aspect. A fitted kitchen, built-in bedroom wardrobe and contemporary bathroom complete the practical layout.
Practical ownership details are appealing: an exceptionally long lease (circa 983 years) and manageable ground rent (£250 pa). The property sits within a concierge building with secure video entry and quick DLR links (Langdon Park/Poplar) to Canary Wharf and central London — convenient for commuters and investors.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge around £1,896 and a communal electricity/heating arrangement, which can affect running costs and control over heating. The wider local area is classified as deprived and crime levels are average; buyers should view in person to assess noise, immediate outlook and communal areas.
Overall, the apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for a low-maintenance, modern waterside flat with good transport links and long lease security. It offers straightforward living or rental potential, but budgets should allow for ongoing service charges and the community heating arrangement.
