This top-floor, chain-free two-bedroom flat in Brangbourne Road offers a practical first home or buy-to-let opportunity. The living room opens onto a private balcony, bringing outdoor space to city living. Both bedrooms are doubles and one includes a built-in wardrobe, while the kitchen and bathroom are serviceable and ready to use.
Practical details work in your favour: 114 years remaining on the lease, off-street parking and mains gas central heating. The block dates from the 1930s–40s and has double glazing; the solid brick walls suggest potential heat-loss and insulating improvements could be beneficial.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime, and broadband speeds are slow. There is an annual service charge (approx. £1,588) and a small ground rent (£10). These factors affect running costs, rental appeal and renovation choices.
For a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry into BR1, or an investor seeking a straightforward flat with immediate rental potential, this home is a sensible, well-located option. Viewings will show the honest condition and reveal where modest updating could add value.
