Summary - 2, Highfield Link RM5 3DH
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Refurbished, chain-free flat with balcony, storage and communal gardens — leasehold with service charge.
Chain free one-bedroom ground-floor flat, newly refurbished
A bright, newly refurbished one-bedroom ground-floor flat offering 587 sq ft of living space, chain free and ready to move into. The large lounge opens onto a balcony and can accommodate a dining area; the kitchen is spacious with plentiful cupboards and space for a small table. The bedroom fits a king-size bed and wardrobes; the shower wet room is contemporary and benefits from underfloor heating. There is a large private storage area and well-maintained communal gardens outside.
Practical running costs are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing, and a modest ground rent of about £10 a year. The unexpired lease is approximately 86 years and the annual service charge is about £1,216 — both figures should be confirmed by a solicitor before exchange. The property sits close to green space (Havering Country Park) and within walking distance of primary schools; Romford and Hainault stations are a short drive away.
Location and local context are mixed: the immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and a neighbourhood profile of social-renting young families. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental in a major conurbation, provided the lease length and service charges meet your criteria.
Note the material points: the property is leasehold with around 86 years remaining; service charge applies; the area shows higher crime and broader social deprivation indicators. These are factual considerations for long-term ownership or mortgage/valuation discussions.
