This chain-free, two-bedroom apartment on Court Road offers straightforward entry to the SE9 market and strong commuter appeal thanks to being directly opposite Mottingham station. The flat sits in a 1950s/60s red-brick block, has double glazing, gas central heating and a long lease of 968 years — giving ownership security often rare at this price point.
Internally the accommodation is a traditional layout with a large reception, two well-proportioned bedrooms, fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom. At approximately 660 sq ft the size is practical for first-time buyers or young couples and also makes the property suitable as a buy-to-let with predictable running costs and low local crime.
There are some material considerations to factor in: the block’s walls are solid brick with no known insulation, broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow and the service charge is approximately £2,400 per year. These points affect running costs and may mean targeted improvements (insulation, internet upgrade) are needed after purchase.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located starter home or investment opportunity. Buyers seeking a commuter-friendly property with long lease security and communal gardens will find genuine value, while those prioritising high-speed connectivity or fully upgraded fabric should budget for improvements.
