This compact one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Basildon with practical commuter links and low running costs. Set in a mid‑20th century block, the home has a separate kitchen, a good-sized lounge with a private balcony, gas central heating and double glazing. The long lease (104 years) and low ground rent help keep ongoing costs predictable.
The location is especially convenient for first-time buyers who need quick access to Basildon town centre and the C2C train station — ideal for commuters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and everyday connectivity.
Be frank about the neighbourhood: the local area is classed as very deprived with higher crime levels than average. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and some communal parts and internal finishes may show age; buyers should expect cosmetic updating rather than a full refurbishment. Council tax is very cheap, which helps monthly affordability.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-positioned, low-cost property with immediate rental or starter-home potential. Viewing will clarify condition and scope for small improvements to maximise comfort or rental income.
