Practical running costs include a service charge averaging £1,250 per year and a small ground rent of £60.

This property suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-presented, low-maintenance city/coastal base close to Westcliff seafront, mainline station and Hamlet Court Road shops.

The apartment offers straightforward living and potential to personalise, but its small overall size and service charges are important considerations.
