Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with around 62 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £2,000; this lease length may make mortgage lending difficult or impossible for some buyers. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is relatively compact at about 458 sq ft, so budget for running costs and check borrowing options carefully.
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking a safe, low-stairs retirement setting with communal facilities and nearby transport links. It’s a straightforward, comfortable option for someone wanting immediate occupation, but buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice because of the short lease and factor service charges into affordability calculations.
