Compact, modern studio with long lease and excellent transport links.
Studio apartment, 322 sq ft, open-plan layout
A compact, turnkey studio apartment in SL1 offering contemporary city living with immediate rental or home-use potential. The open-plan layout, large windows and modern finishes — oak-effect flooring, bespoke tobacco-wood kitchen cabinets and integrated appliances — make the flat feel polished and move-in ready.
Practical strengths include an extremely long lease (990 years), lift access, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low council tax. The property sits close to shops, cafés and public transport links, useful for commuters and investors targeting quick lets.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall size (322 sq ft) and reliance on electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas heating. Crime in the immediate area is above average, and the service charge (£1,175) and ground rent (£165) are payable — factor these service costs into affordability or rental yield calculations.
Suitable for a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance city base or an investor seeking a compact let with strong transport connections. The apartment works best for buyers who prioritise location and convenience over space, and who accept some ongoing service costs and electric heating.
