Practical benefits include a very long lease (977 years), lift access, secure entry and communal gardens — useful for tenants or owner-occupiers. The property is offered chain free, which speeds up purchase for investors or first-time buyers seeking a quick move-in or let-ready asset.
Buyers should note material running costs and heating type: service charge averages around £2,000pa and ground rent is approximately £200pa. Main heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can increase energy costs. The surrounding area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with higher local crime statistics; this suits lettings to students but may concern some owner-occupiers.
Overall, the apartment presents a straightforward buy-to-let or entry-purchase opportunity: strong transport links, modern build and long lease support rental demand, while costs and local context are clear factors to weigh before offering.
