At about 688 sq ft, the flat is an average-sized property suited to professionals or first-time buyers who want city convenience without extensive upkeep.
Practical details are favourable: a long lease (142 years remaining) provides security, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.

Local amenities are extensive — shops, transport, leisure and dining are all within easy reach, which supports both comfortable living and strong rental demand.
Buyers should weigh a few important negatives. The neighbourhood records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, which will affect lifestyle and potentially resale or rental premiums. Heating is electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase energy costs. Annual costs include an average service charge of £1,440 and ground rent of £350.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a modern, low-maintenance city base or an investor looking for a rental property in a well-connected area. Be realistic about the local crime profile and running costs when assessing long-term value and budgeting for utilities and service charges.
