This compact second-floor apartment (approx. 550 sq ft) offers sensible, low-maintenance living close to Romford town centre and transport. The layout provides two bedrooms, a separate living room and a fitted kitchen — practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate occupancy or rental income. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a notable convenience in this location.
The building, constructed around 1996–2002, benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband availability. The lease has about 98 years remaining and council tax is described as affordable, supporting a straightforward purchase or mortgage application. Proximity to Romford Overground/Elizabeth Line and local amenities makes commuting and day-to-day life easy.
Be clear about ongoing costs: the advertised ground rent is £600 pa (relatively high) and a service charge is likely payable (amount not specified). The apartment is compact, with small-to-average room sizes and no private garden; external space is limited to communal beds and a small front lawn. There are no notable views beyond neighbouring blocks.
Location strengths come with trade-offs. The wider area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate, which may affect long-term rental yields and resale appeal. For buyers seeking value and convenience near central transport links, this flat represents a practical, well-presented entry point — but factor in running costs and the local area profile before proceeding.
