Chain-free one-bedroom flat in central Eltham, presented with clear potential for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property offers a large reception room, double bedroom with storage and a well-sized kitchen across approximately 539 sq ft. Heating and hot water are covered by the service charge, simplifying running costs, and the long lease (119 years remaining) removes immediate lease-extension urgency.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and is system-built with external insulation. The flat has double glazing (installation date unknown) but the interior shows 1970s fittings and will benefit from modernization to reach modern standards. Service charges are currently estimated at £2,203 pa and include communal heating, hot water and some communal services; ground rent is £10 pa and council tax is in Band B.
Practical extras include free off-street parking, communal gardens and a secure telephone entry system. Location is a strong asset: moments from Eltham High Street and Eltham rail station for straightforward commuting, plus several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. Note the local area is classified as deprived with an urban cultural mix, and crime levels are average.
This flat suits buyers who want affordability, convenience and the scope to add value through refurbishment. It is offered chain-free, which can speed completion, but expect refurbishment costs to modernise internal finishes and possibly upgrade windows or services if desired.
