Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime rates, and the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation. The lease has about 89 years remaining, which may affect mortgage options and future value; interested buyers should seek professional advice on lease length and any share-of-freehold arrangements. EPC rated D — some energy improvements may be beneficial.
Overall this maisonette is a practical, well-decorated central home with period character and commuter convenience. It will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or investors prepared to accept a shorter lease and a location requiring careful consideration.
