Secure underground parking space for two small cars
Service charge c. £2,077 per year; ground rent £208 per year
Electric storage heating; check energy costs and comfort levels
Walkable to train station, good for commuters
Located in a very deprived local area; impacts growth and tenant mix
Set on the second floor, this bright one-bedroom flat offers practical living space with unusually generous underground parking—two small cars will fit. The long lease (over 970 years) and no upper chain make it straightforward for buyers and investors seeking a quick completion.
The interior comprises a spacious living room, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Electric storage heating and double glazing provide basic comfort; the block is maintained to a high standard. Service charge and ground rent are payable (£2,077 p/a service charge; £208 ground rent), so factor running costs into affordability or yield calculations.
Well located for commuters, the property is within easy walking distance of the train station and offers potential rental income of around £1,000 pcm. The surrounding area is mixed — cosmopolitan with students and young families, but locally classified as very deprived — which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant mix.
This apartment is a sensible choice for a first-time buyer wanting low friction purchase terms, or an investor targeting immediate rental income. Buyers should note the main heating is electric storage heaters and check communal management details and ongoing costs before committing.
