Summary - Flat 503 The Galley, 3, Basin Approach, LONDON E16 2QW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal entry-level waterside home with balcony and long lease.
Chain free and well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment
Bright, chain-free and well-presented, this one-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits on the water in The Galley, E16. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, bringing light and a pleasant waterside aspect into the heart of the home. Generous built-in storage and a chic bathroom make day-to-day living straightforward.
The flat is practical for a first-time buyer: long lease (177 years), very low flood risk and modern build quality from the 2003–2006 period. Electric underfloor heating and double glazing keep the apartment cosy, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working or streaming.
Be realistic about the running costs and wider context. The leasehold incurs a notable annual service charge (c. £2,875) and an expensive ground rent (£711). The immediate area is classed as deprived with above-average crime levels, so buyers prioritising community safety or low charges should factor these into their decision.
For someone seeking a ready-to-move-in first home or a buy-to-let in Docklands, this apartment offers waterside living, good transport links, nearby green space, and long-term lease security. Viewing will show how the modern interior and balcony deliver comfortable city living close to local amenities.
