Summary - Flat 9 Grenville Court, Silverdale Road SO15 2TD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Efficient city flat with parking and long lease ideal for first-time buyers.
One bedroom ground-floor flat, 502 sq ft
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offering an efficient open-plan layout and modern kitchen with integrated appliances. At 502 sq ft this flat suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance city base in a popular Southampton neighbourhood.
Practical strengths include secure undercroft parking, a very long lease (c.956 years) and share of freehold ownership. The block contains no rental properties, which helps owner-occupier stability, and local digital connectivity is excellent with fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Be clear about notable drawbacks: heating runs on an LPG boiler rather than mains gas, cavity walls appear to lack insulation (affecting running costs), and the building dates from 1967–75 so some communal elements are mid-century in style. There is a medium flood risk and the current service charge is around £2,400 per year, which should be factored into affordability.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located starter home with clear potential for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements. Buyers should commission a full inspection and consider the LPG fuel system, service charge budget, and flood-risk mitigation before proceeding.
