This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a surprisingly affordable entry into Southampton with immediate move-in readiness. Newly redecorated with new carpets and windows, the flat features a spacious living room, private balcony with built-in storage, and two external sheds for extra storage — practical benefits for first-time buyers or investors.
Set close to Southampton General Hospital, Shirley High Street and good transport links, the property suits commuters and those needing easy access to local amenities. Four resident parking spaces directly in front of the block and fast mobile and broadband speeds add day-to-day convenience.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates, and the block is a mid-20th-century system-built form with assumed no wall insulation. It is leasehold (105 years remaining) with a below-average service charge of £721; additional leasehold fees may apply. The flat is small at 589 sq ft, so space is limited compared with larger family homes.
Overall this is an inexpensive, chain-free starter flat or rental opportunity with immediate usability and clear renovation or upgrade potential (insulation, aesthetic updates). Prospective purchasers should check lease pack details and local safety considerations before committing.
