Summary - 56 HELMORES BASILDON SS15 6SA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large balcony, low charges and direct rail links to London.
Two double bedrooms, both generous in size
This first-floor two-double-bedroom apartment offers a bright, practical layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The living room opens through sliding doors to a large 16' x 11' balcony, creating an extended entertaining space and plenty of natural light. The kitchen/diner is a usable size for everyday cooking and dining, and generous entrance-hall storage includes loft access for extra belongings.
Practical running costs are a strength: a lengthy lease (94 years remaining), low service charge (£96 pcm) and a nominal ground rent (£10 pa). There is a wealth of communal parking and the location is convenient — within walking distance of local shops, amenities and rail links with direct services into London. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property benefits from post-2002 double glazing and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are average; that context may affect resale and rental demand. The building dates from the 1950–66 period so prospective purchasers should budget for age-related maintenance over time. Council tax is low (Band B), and the property is offered chain-free, which supports a quicker move.
Overall this is a well-proportioned apartment with practical features and clear commuter appeal. It will suit someone seeking roomy accommodation with outside space and low holding costs, or an investor looking for a straightforward let near transport links. Viewings recommended to assess condition and long-term suitability against the neighbourhood profile.
