Buyers should note a few material limitations: the property is leasehold, heating is electric room heaters (no gas central heating), and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, which may affect home working. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived, so resale and rental demand may be location-sensitive despite good transport links.

Prospective purchasers will need to complete an identity check (cost £80 inc. VAT) as part of the process; buyers are advised to commission their own inspection and survey before purchase.
