Summary - EXCHANGE BUILDING, 132 FLAT 49 COMMERCIAL STREET LONDON E1 6NG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure parking and 24/7 concierge near Liverpool Street transport links.
Approx. 621 sq ft one-bedroom apartment, high ceilings and large windows
Set in an Art Deco, historically significant development on the edge of the City, this one-bedroom apartment offers 621 sq ft of well-proportioned living. High ceilings and large windows create a bright interior; recent secondary glazing has been fitted to improve comfort. The flat is third-floor, south-west facing and sold chain-free, with a long lease of approximately 970 years.
Practical benefits include a designated underground parking space, 24/7 concierge, lift access and a private courtyard accessed from the lobby. The building sits close to Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street stations, putting central and national rail services within easy walking distance — useful for commuting or renting to professionals and students.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a service charge of £4,887 pa and ground rent of £300 pa. The area records very high crime statistics, which may affect insurance and personal security perceptions. EPC C and mains gas boiler heating are already in place; internal insulation is not specified and the building has solid-brick walls.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central London pied-à-terre or rental asset with secure parking and concierge amenity. It balances period character and practical modern touches but carries above-average service charges and sits in a busy inner-city neighbourhood, so viewings will suit purchasers prioritising location and convenience over quiet suburban living.
