Practical buyers should note a few important drawbacks: the flat is leasehold, electric heating can mean higher running costs, and the surrounding area is marked by high crime and relative deprivation. The apartment’s overall size is small (around 610 sq ft) so it suits downsizers seeking manageable accommodation rather than those needing large living spaces. For someone aiming to move quickly into a supported retirement setting close to town, this is a straightforward option with immediate occupancy potential.
