Summary - 39 FRITHAM ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO18 5GG
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact one-bedroom with low annual costs and shared outdoor space near transport.
No forward chain — vacant possession available immediately
This ground-floor, one-bedroom maisonette is offered with no forward chain and presents a straightforward entry into the local market. At around 417 sq ft the accommodation suits a single occupant, first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, city-edge home with easy access to transport links and local amenities.
The flat has its own private entrance, a bright living room and a double bedroom. Practical benefits include triple glazing, low annual ground rent (£10) and no service charge. Buildings insurance is approximately £220 per year. A shared rear garden with brick-built sheds provides outdoor space and storage.
Important negatives are clear: the interior is dated and would benefit from refurbishment, heating is via electric storage heaters, and external walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction which may affect energy costs. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime, which may influence resale or rental appeal. The lease has approximately 86 years remaining — sufficient but a point for buyers to consider.
Overall this maisonette delivers low running costs in some areas (very cheap council tax band A, minimal ground rent) and a quick purchase route due to no chain. It is best suited to buyers comfortable investing in some updating, or investors looking for a modest rental unit close to stations and local services.
