This ground-floor one-bedroom flat (approx. 409 sqft) offers a compact, low-maintenance base close to Romford town centre and the Elizabeth Line. The apartment is chain-free and includes residents’ parking and access to a communal garden — practical features for tenants or short-term rentals.
The accommodation has a modern fitted kitchen and double glazing, but buyers should note visible under-sink damage in the kitchen that may indicate damp and will need repair. The property sits on a traditional layout with gas central heating; the construction dates from the 1980s. Leasehold information: around 88 years remaining, service charge approximately £1,700 pa and ground rent £300 pa.
This is a clear investment-style opportunity for a landlord or a first-time purchaser seeking an entry-level London purchase. The flat’s close walking distance to shops, bus routes and rail connections supports rental demand, but consider the higher-than-average local crime and area deprivation when assessing rental yield and management requirements. Repairs and ongoing service costs should be factored into offers.
