This 2-bedroom, second-floor flat on Selhurst Road offers straightforward rental and resale potential in a well-connected part of SE25. At about 743 sq ft with a long lease of 103 years (and flats reportedly close to a share of freehold), the property suits buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a lower-entry London home.
Internally the flat presents a bright living space and two good-sized bedrooms. Built-form and fabric appear to provide reasonable thermal performance (walls U-value 0.29 W/m²K), broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical positives for tenants and working professionals.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by electric room heaters only, the EPC is a D, and the wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels. These factors affect running costs, tenant profile and may influence yield assumptions. Council tax is described as cheap which helps holding costs.
Overall this is a pragmatic investment or starter-home purchase: solid lease length, convenient transport/amenity access, and potential to increase value with targeted improvements (heating upgrade, energy efficiency works). The proximity to good primary and secondary schools and local convenience amenities adds mainstream rental appeal.
