Suitable for cash buyers or specialist-finance investors
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living across approximately 635 sq ft. The home includes two double bedrooms, a contemporary kitchen, a bright living/dining area and one bathroom — suited to a cash buyer or a purchase with specialist finance. Off-street parking and a communal setting add everyday convenience.
Important: the lease has 78 years remaining. Many mainstream mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on leases of this length, so buyers should check finance options early. The property has an annual service charge of about £1,200 and a ground rent of £100. Council tax band and some running costs should be confirmed separately.
The building is a modern brick block with standard ceiling heights and small-to-medium room sizes. EPC rating C and fast broadband/mobile signal make the flat practical for remote working, but the local area scores high for crime and is described as very deprived; prospective buyers should view the neighbourhood at different times and consider security needs.
Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings and local amenities include community centres, places of worship and public transport links, which may suit investors seeking rental demand from private-renting households or buyers wanting local services. The flat will appeal most to cash buyers, investors, or purchasers prepared to arrange non-standard mortgage terms.
