Summary - 10 SAPPHIRE CLOSE DAGENHAM RM8 1UF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Move-in ready flat with parking and excellent transport links for commuters.
Long lease — over 900 years remaining
Freshly refurbished and ready to move into, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers a rare long lease (over 900 years) and an allocated parking space — strong practical benefits for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. At around 571 sq ft the layout delivers a generous lounge, a compact modern kitchen and a master bedroom with a dressing area and vanity sink. Good transport links nearby make commuting straightforward.
The building is a low-rise modern block with double glazing and recent cosmetic upgrades throughout. The property is chain free and presented in good decorative order, so immediate occupation or letting is possible with minimal snagging. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong in the area.
Be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The service charge is about £1,896 per year and ground rent is £60, both of which should be factored into affordability calculations. The neighbourhood is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average — view and local checks are recommended.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, long-lease London entry purchase or a straightforward rental investment. The combination of modern finishes, allocated parking and very long lease length are genuine advantages, balanced by ongoing service charges and electric heating costs.
