A chain-free, first-floor one-bedroom flat close to Leytonstone Central Line, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property offers a spacious lounge and a well-lit kitchen, plus a long lease of 139 years giving tenure security.
The apartment benefits from double glazing throughout and sits within walking distance of local amenities, buses and Hollow Pond. Nearby schools rate well with several Good Ofsted listings, and council tax is very cheap. The building is a solid-brick mid-terrace constructed around the early 20th century, which gives character but also limitations.
Practical drawbacks are clear and important: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, the external walls are likely uninsulated (as-built solid brick), and the interior has a dated finish that will need updating to modern tastes. Service charges average £1,344 per year and the flat is leasehold, so ongoing costs and solicitor checks are essential.
For buyers wanting a straightforward, low-entrance-cost London home, this apartment presents value: long lease, central location and no chain. Those needing fast internet, modern insulation or a fully refurbished interior should factor refurbishment costs into their budget.
