This one-bedroom ground-floor flat is offered as a 50% shared ownership and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking affordable entry to Luton. The apartment measures about 517 sq ft, is well presented throughout, and includes a balcony, courtyard-style communal garden and an allocated off-street parking space. Luton mainline station and local amenities are within walking distance, making daily travel and errands convenient.
The property is leasehold and currently sold in conjunction with Hightown Housing Association; the advertised price reflects the vendor’s 50% share. A monthly rent of £361.15 is payable to the housing association for the retained share. Hightown have indicated they may allow staircasing to 100% ownership, but buyers must check eligibility and affordability with the association and obtain legal advice on timescales and any additional fees (lease packs, conveyancing, etc.).
Practical features include gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is described as very cheap and there is no flood risk. However, the wider area records high crime levels and significant deprivation; buyers should consider local safety and community factors alongside the property’s merits.
The flat is ready to occupy and presents limited renovation need, but potential purchasers should verify service charge and ground rent figures (not fully specified) and confirm all lease details and costs before committing. This is a pragmatic, affordable step onto the property ladder for buyers who meet shared ownership criteria and want close transport links to Luton town centre.
