Summary - Rectory Road N16 7QX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact investment-ready flat near Dalston Overground and vibrant local amenities.
Seventh-floor one-bedroom with private balcony
A compact one-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor, this flat offers a straightforward rental proposition in a busy north London neighbourhood. The property includes a balcony, integrated kitchen and lift access, making it suitable for single professionals or investors seeking a low-maintenance buy-to-let. Transport links are strong with Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground within easy reach.
The building is modernist/brutalist in style and the flat totals about 411 sq ft — small but efficiently laid out with a bright reception room and double bedroom. The lease has 107 years remaining, avoiding immediate lease-extension costs, and there is no flooding risk. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as good, supporting rental demand from working tenants.
Notable running costs and local context should be factored into any offer. The service charge is £2,560 per year and ground rent is £10, while the surrounding census indicators show high deprivation; this can affect long-term capital growth compared with more affluent pockets. Crime is average for the area, and the apartment’s size means limited scope for large rent uplifts without refurbishment.
For an investor targeting inner-London letting, this is a manageable, ready-to-rent unit close to popular leisure streets and transport. For owner-occupiers, it suits someone prioritising location and convenience over space. Any buyer should budget for routine upkeep and consider the wider neighbourhood’s socio-economic profile when assessing future value.
