Important negatives you should weigh: the area records very high crime and very high flood risk; the neighbourhood is assessed as very deprived. Heating is by electric radiators with hot water from an immersion tank, and the property is sold fully furnished. Service charges are substantial (about £3,200 per year), and the lease has approximately 106 years remaining.
This home will suit buyers seeking a low‑maintenance retirement base or investors targeting retirement accommodation. An internal viewing is recommended to assess space and layout; the apartment’s overall size is small (around 365 sq ft) so consider storage and mobility needs before committing.
