Summary - 81a Honley Road SE6 2HY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Period charm with rental income potential close to major transport links.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat with private rear garden
A chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat with classic Victorian character and a private rear garden, offered with immediate rental income. High ceilings, a bay-front reception and generous room proportions give a sense of space through the 53m² (approx. 570ft²) layout. The fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort while period features remain prominent.
This property sits well for transport, with multiple nearby stations (Catford, Catford Bridge, Hither Green and Ladywell) and good broadband and mobile coverage — appealing for commuters and renters. Current tenancy produces rental income with scope to review in line with market rules, making the flat a practical buy-to-let prospect for cash buyers or experienced landlords.
Buyers should note a material drawback: only c.58 years remain on the lease. Many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended, so purchasers should factor in lease-extension costs or plan for a cash purchase. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and parts of the property and garden require basic upkeep and updating.
Overall this is a small but attractive period flat with solid rental appeal and refurbishment potential. It will suit investors or buyers able to manage the short lease issue, carry minor maintenance and invest in thermal improvements or cosmetic updating to maximise rental or resale value.
