A compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat on the second floor, freshly redecorated and ready to move into. The flat’s separate reception room and modern-style kitchen make efficient use of 373 sq ft, and close transport links (Leyton Midland Road and Leytonstone Central line) put the City within easy reach — useful for first-time buyers commuting into central London.
Practical costs are clear: an annual service charge of about £1,240 and ground rent of £150. The lease has approximately 87 years remaining, which is workable but should be checked with your conveyancer for mortgage and extension implications. The property is advertised with gas central heating; buyer should verify actual heating/fuel supply at survey stage, since building records also note electric room heaters.
Externally the building shows signs of age (faded paint, rusted railings) and appears to need some communal maintenance — a common issue in post‑war blocks that can affect future service charges. The flat itself is newly decorated with new carpets and flooring, double glazing and a modern kitchen, making it a straightforward purchase for someone seeking a low‑entry home or an investment in a well-connected part of Leytonstone.
EPC rating D and council tax band A reflect modest running costs, while average broadband and excellent mobile signal suit working-from-home flexibility. Overall this is a small but well-presented flat with clear pros and cons: low initial fuss and good location balanced against shortish lease and external maintenance considerations.
