This two-double-bedroom flat on Christchurch Road is a clear value proposition for buyers prepared to refurbish. Offered chain free with a very long lease (circa 957 years), the apartment includes allocated underground parking and access to communal gardens — useful practical benefits in a city-centre location.
The accommodation totals about 480 sq ft and currently requires extensive modernisation: dated 1980s decor, worn carpets, and an ageing kitchen and bathroom. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building likely has cavity walls without insulation, so expect upgrade costs for comfort and energy efficiency. Service charge runs at about £2,640pa (£220 pcm).
Location is a mixed picture. The flat sits close to transport, local shops and beaches, and nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings, but the immediate area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. Flood risk is low.
This property suits an investor or hands-on buyer looking to add value through refurbishment, or a first-time buyer willing to renovate to create a modern home. Be realistic about renovation costs, ongoing service charge, and local safety perceptions when assessing overall value.
