An affordable one-bedroom flat in central Reading, offered with vacant possession and a long lease (approximately 976 years). Located within a mid-terrace period building divided into four self-contained flats, the accommodation extends to about 290 sq ft with a reception room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
The flat's location is a clear draw: Zinzan Street sits close to Reading town centre and rail links with direct services to London, plus a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities on the doorstep. Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note this property will be sold at auction and purchasers must inspect the legal pack before bidding. The building and flat show some maintenance needs: exterior cleaning is required and there is a report of damp. The area registers higher crime levels and is described as deprived, so buyers should assess personal security and local conditions.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an economical central flat with renovation potential. If you want a compact city base or a rental income opportunity close to transport links, this property merits a careful inspection and review of the legal documents prior to auction.
