This compact one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into Hackney with a private balcony and city-facing views. At 384 sq ft it’s best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with immediate rental potential. Service charges include heating and hot water, and the tenure is leasehold with 88 years remaining.
The block dates from the late 1960s–1970s and is a system-built, concrete construction with double glazing. The property benefits from communal gas heating, an elevator, and easy access to extensive local amenities, Shoreditch’s nightlife, and green spaces such as Victoria Park. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and council tax is very low.
Buyers should note the apartment is small and the building shows typical issues of its era: limited wall insulation and a communal heating scheme (no independent boiler). Crime levels in the area are high and the wider locality is relatively deprived, which may affect future resale values. Ground rent is low (£10) but the lease length and fabric quality mean refurbishment or insulation upgrades could be needed.
Offered chain-free but currently for cash buyers only, this property represents a practical, well-located option for someone prepared to accept compact living or invest in modest improvements to increase value or rental income.
