Leasehold with 89 years remaining; ground rent £35pa
Service charge £600pa; factor into running costs

Bright, spacious and well-located, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers a comfortable launchpad for first-time buyers. The reception room is airy with large windows and modern laminate flooring; a private garden and off-street parking are unusual extras for a flat in this area. Goodmayes station is about 0.2 miles away, making commutes straightforward.
The building is a period mid-terrace constructed before 1900, with double glazing fitted and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The footprint is generous at approximately 925 sq ft, so rooms feel larger than many typical two-bed flats. The private garden gives space for children, pets or outdoor entertaining.
There are some practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, ground rent of £35pa and a service charge of £600pa. The external brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of solid-wall period properties) and the exterior requires some maintenance. Crime levels in the local area are above average, which buyers should consider.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer wanting space, transport links and outdoor access without immediate major works inside. Lease length and communal costs are workable but should be factored into mortgage and budget planning.
