Summary - 43, CALCUTTA ROAD RM18 7QT
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-positioned rental close to station and major employers.
Three bedrooms suitable for families or sharers
This three-bedroom second-floor flat in Tilbury offers straightforward buy-to-let potential in a central, well-connected location. The property includes a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with rear balcony, family bathroom and access to a garage — features that appeal to rental demand and commuter tenants.
The location is a major draw: Tilbury Town centre, the mainline station, Amazon warehouse, docks and local supermarkets are all within easy reach. Broadband speeds are very slow and the neighbourhood is classified as a transitional Eastern European area with very high recorded crime — factors to weigh when setting rent and tenant screening protocols.
The property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of £1,622 (average) and a £10 ground rent. Built in the 1950s–60s with cavity walls likely uninsulated, the flat may need targeted energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to maximise rental value.
For an investor seeking a centrally located rental in Tilbury, this apartment presents a practical, mid-market opportunity. Budget for some refurbishment, improved broadband solutions, and robust tenant vetting to mitigate local crime-related risks.
