Affordable entry-level flat with refit potential close to city links.
Chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat with private balcony
This chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat on Eastern Road offers a straightforward entry into Portsmouth ownership. The living room opens onto a private balcony, providing outdoor space and afternoon sun. At about 657 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable property with rental potential.
The apartment has basic, serviceable finishes but requires updating — the living area and kitchen show signs of neglect and would reward cosmetic refurbishment. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed but predates 2002. Buyers should factor in typical leasehold costs and the reported 89 years remaining on the lease.
Practical advantages include easy access in and out of the city, fast broadband, very low council tax, and nearby bus links. The local schools and amenities are mixed; some primary and secondary schools are rated Good while others need improvement. Crime levels and area deprivation are average, reflecting a neighbourhood with everyday conveniences rather than premium status.
This flat suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable, chain-free purchase with scope to add value, or an investor looking for a city-centre let with straightforward maintenance requirements. Obtain a lease pack and professional survey to confirm service charges, any additional fees, and the building’s condition before proceeding.
