A compact, recently built first-floor flat in a secure gated courtyard close to Hammersmith transport and King Street amenities. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen make efficient use of the 407 sq ft layout, while two Juliette balconies and plentiful natural light help the apartment feel more spacious than its size suggests.
This unit is currently let at £2,000 pcm, offering immediate rental income and a strong gross yield for the area. The lease is effectively virtually freehold at 992 years remaining, and the development benefits from modern heating via air-source heat pump fan coil units and an EPC C rating.
Buyers should note practical costs and local conditions: an annual service charge of £1,855.68 and ground rent of £400, plus council tax (Band D). Broadband speeds are reported very slow and local crime levels are high — factors that may affect tenant demand or quality.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance investment or city base for a buyer wanting reliable rental income and long lease security, but consider the small internal size and nearby area issues when assessing relet potential or owner-occupation.
