Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in the Vista building, offered chain-free and ready for a straightforward purchase. The open-plan kitchen/living room opens to a balcony overlooking a well-kept communal garden terrace, giving a pleasant outdoor aspect despite the compact footprint. Underground parking (garage) is included — a rare extra in this area.
Accommodation is modern and practical: master bedroom with en-suite, second double bedroom and a family bathroom. Constructed between 2007–2011 with double glazing and community heating, the flat will suit first-time buyers or investors wanting a low-immediate-maintenance property with good transport links (close to Fratton train station).
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining and a very high ground rent of £3,500, which will affect running costs and mortgage eligibility. The wider area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, so buyers should factor local context into their decision. Council tax is low and broadband/mobile connectivity are strong.
This is a compact home (approx 453 sq ft) that balances modern conveniences and outdoor space with notable service charges and neighbourhood factors. A viewing and independent checks are recommended to confirm suitability for either habitation or rental use.
