Compact 372 sq ft one-bedroom layout, suitable for single occupant or couple

Modern kitchen and bathroom; contemporary finishes and good natural light
Shorter lease (99 years from 29/09/1989) — approx 63 years remaining

Set on Guildford’s Upper High Street, this compact one-bedroom flat offers an exceptionally central base with a secure underground garage. At about 372 sq ft the layout suits a single occupant or couples seeking town-centre convenience, short commute to London and immediate access to shops, theatres and transport links.
The apartment is in a modern mixed-use building with contemporary finishes, a fitted kitchen and bathroom, and good natural light. Service charge (£164pcm) and ground rent (£100pa) are modest. The parking space is a rare asset for central locations.
Important practical considerations: the lease started 29/09/1989 and has around 63 years remaining; a lease extension is estimated at £25,000 plus legal fees. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the local crime level is very high — both factors to weigh for either a homebuyer or landlord.
This property works well as a convenient first home or a short-term buy-to-let holding with potential for capital growth given the central location and local amenities. Buyers expecting long-term ownership should budget for a lease extension and upgrade to broadband infrastructure.
