Practical details support ownership: a long lease (about 116 years remaining from 2015) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. On-street and local transport links, nearby universities and cultural venues make the flat well placed for commuters and tenants.
Be clear about recurring costs and limitations: the property is leasehold with a service charge of approximately £3,300 pa (paid six-monthly) and a £150 pa ground rent. Heating is electric, provided by room heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating. The wider neighbourhood is described as a cosmopolitan student area and official crime levels are very high, which is important for buyers weighing security and tenant profiles.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking a central, low-upkeep home or an investor targeting strong rental demand, provided they factor service charges, electric heating costs and local crime statistics into their decision.
