A compact two-bedroom leasehold apartment in a Victorian building, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The open-plan living area has contemporary touches — wood flooring, a skylight and double glazing — and benefits from gas central heating and resident off-street parking for added convenience.
At about 530 sq ft, the flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located London starter home. The property sits close to shops, public transport and green space (Tooting Common), with several highly rated schools nearby. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working and modern living.
Important practical points are clear: the building dates from 1900–1929 and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The flat is small in overall size, ceilings vary between high in the building and lower in the apartment living area, and the local crime level is high. The lease has c.99 years remaining with a modest ground rent of £100 and the tenure is leasehold.
This home offers immediate comfort and good rental potential (estimated c. £24,000 pa), but buyers should factor in potential upgrading or insulation works and the area’s higher crime rate when deciding. For someone after an affordable entry into SW16 or a straightforward lettable buy-to-let, this property is worth viewing.
