Summary - 425 WICKHAM ROAD, CROYDON CR0 8DQ
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Chain-free 2-bed ground-floor flat with garden and garage; sold via auction.
Bay-fronted lounge with good natural light
A bright ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette with direct access to a private rear garden and garage en-bloc. The bay-fronted living room, fitted kitchen/breakfast area and two double bedrooms make this a comfortable starter home or buy-to-let in a quiet, low-crime area.
Practical positives include double glazing, a replacement gas boiler with radiators and local transport links into Croydon, West Wickham and Beckenham. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and local shops and High Street amenities are within a mile.
Important buyer notes: the lease has 68 years remaining — short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse lending. The sale is via the Modern Method of Auction: buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a buyers’ pack fee, and complete within the auction timetable. These costs and the lease length affect affordability and mortgage options.
The property suits a cash buyer, an investor aware of lease extension costs, or a first-time buyer prepared to use specialist mortgage advice. It’s chain-free and offers scope to update decor and insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) to add value over time.
