Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,440 per year, and it sits in a very high crime area which may affect insurance and lettings. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and has assumed cavity walls without added insulation, so energy performance improvements are possible if desired.
Overall this flat offers a sensible, well-located home or rental in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood close to Marmion and Palmerston Road shops, cafés and the seafront. It’s a practical, low-entry purchase with clear potential for cosmetic updating and efficiency upgrades.
