This bright two-bedroom flat in Hamlet House is an economical entry into Forest Hill living. The reception room receives good natural light, and the layout includes two double bedrooms, a modern-style kitchen and a contemporary bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and easy access to Forest Hill station make daily commuting straightforward.
Offered chain free with a 103-year lease remaining, the flat suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a buy-to-let opportunity. The property sits at 523 sq ft, so rooms are compact but well proportioned; storage is noted throughout. An EPC rating of C is reasonable for the age and construction.
Practical considerations are important: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas central system, which can increase running costs. The annual ground rent at £648 is higher than typical and should be factored into ongoing costs. The wider area records higher crime levels than average, so prospective buyers should check local crime data and consider security arrangements.
Overall, this is a straightforward, chain-free purchase near excellent transport links and local amenities. It’s a small, modern-flat option that offers immediate occupation potential and clear investment appeal, provided buyers are comfortable with electric heating and the stated ground rent.
