Long lease remaining (954 years) and modest ground rent (£15)
Requires full refurbishment; kitchen and living areas dated
Double glazing reportedly installed; some windows/ventilation need repair
Cavity walls as-built with no confirmed insulation; energy upgrades likely needed
Above-average crime and very deprived local area—check local safety data
Good transport links (Canning Town station, A13) and nearby schools
Set over approximately 600 sq ft, this two-bedroom leasehold flat offers a bright reception room, separate kitchen and private balcony in a well-connected Canning Town street. The property is compact but laid out for practical living, with plentiful built-in storage and a family bathroom. Local schools include two Ofsted Outstanding primaries and several secondary options, which will appeal to buyers with children.
The flat requires full refurbishment—kitchen and living areas are dated and some ventilation and window fittings need attention. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; cavity walls are as-built with no confirmed insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades. Service charge and ground rent are low/modest, but the service charge figure is listed as unknown and should be checked.
For commuters, Canning Town station and the A13 are within easy reach, and the neighbourhood has a wide range of local amenities including shops, cafes and bus links. Note the local context: the area scores as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which is reflected in long-term rental demand and potentially lower purchase prices.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate. With a long lease (over 950 years) and a modest price point, there is clear scope to add value through updating windows, improving insulation and modernising the kitchen and bathroom.
