Summary - 8, Essex Close RM7 8BD
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Cash-only auction lot with garden and good transport links.
Ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette, c.559 sq ft
Offered as a conditional auction lot for cash buyers, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette provides an affordable entry into the Romford market. The flat includes a 19ft living room, an 8ft fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a private rear garden of about 18ft. The accommodation is compact (c.559 sq ft) and suitable for buy-to-let or a buyer prepared to refurbish for resale.
Buyers should note significant practical constraints: the lease has only c.36 years remaining and mortgage lenders will likely refuse to lend. The sale is subject to a reservation fee and conditional auction terms; cash-ready purchasers who understand auction costs and leasehold implications will be best placed to proceed. There is no onward chain, which can speed completion for a successful bidder.
Location is a key strength — roughly 0.8 miles to Romford station with Elizabeth Line and National Rail links into London, plus nearby retail, parks and schools. Condition is basic with some dated finishes and minor maintenance apparent; cosmetic updating would increase rental income or resale value. Prospective buyers should obtain specialist leasehold and auction advice before bidding.
