This compact one-bedroom flat occupies the upper part of a period terrace in Anerley and is presented in good decorative order. The bright reception room, modern fitted kitchen and smart built-in storage make efficient use of the 354 sq ft footprint, so it will suit a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in home or an investor after a lettable city asset.
Practical points: the property is leasehold and will be offered for sale at auction (prior purchase available). Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has solid brick walls with no known insulation upgrade; glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. Service charges average £1,977 per year, which is a material ongoing cost to factor into budgets.
Location is convenient for public transport (Anerley station nearby) and local amenities, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools within reach. The wider area profile shows high crime levels and high deprivation, so buyers should consider local safety and resale/rental dynamics.
Suitability: best for a first-time buyer who values a compact, well-presented city flat or for an investor comfortable with an auction process and the noted running costs. Inspect to confirm heating performance, insulation and lease details before bidding.
