Summary - FORBES TERRACE, 45 FLAT 1 WASHINGTON ROAD PORTSMOUTH PO2 7DU
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Chain-free, compact one-bed flat with long lease and central location — ideal first purchase or buy-to-let.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, 431 sq ft (compact)
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat in central Portsmouth, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (116 years). The open-plan living/kitchen (approx 19' x 9'5") makes the most of 431 sq ft, and the property has a modern bathroom and UPVC double glazing. Service charge and ground rent are both modest at £150 pa; council tax is very low.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting an entry-level purchase in a well-connected urban area. Local amenities and public transport are close by, and broadband and mobile signal are reported as strong — useful for working from home or letting. The building dates from c.1996–2002 and appears externally well maintained.
Be clear about the limits: accommodation is small and the main heating is electric room heaters, so running costs could be higher than gas-heated flats. The wider area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect resale values or rental demand in some tenant markets. Buyers should commission their own checks on services, electrics and heating efficiency before committing.
Overall this is a budget-priced, chain-free flat that offers quick entry to the Portsmouth market and scope for light cosmetic improvement or rental income, provided buyers accept the compact size and local area challenges.
