Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, ground-floor apartment
This ground-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers a generously proportioned layout and a recently refitted white-gloss kitchen/diner, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The flat sits 0.6 miles from Purfleet C2C station, providing direct commuter access to Fenchurch Street in around 30 minutes. Current local rents for similar flats are approximately £1,400 pcm, supporting investment potential.
The building is a modern, low-maintenance block constructed c.2003–2006 with double glazing and a tidy exterior. The open-plan kitchen/diner (19'6" x 9'4" max) and a comfortable lounge create flexible living space, while the en-suite to the main bedroom adds convenience. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent respectively.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property is leasehold with about 105 years remaining and a £150 ground rent, council tax is moderate, and main heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system. The area records higher-than-average crime, which may concern some purchasers and affect lettability or resale perceptions.
A straightforward purchase for someone seeking a commuter-flat or starter home, it also offers clear rental prospects. Prospective buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and checks (services and appliances not tested) and to allow for any additional leasehold-related fees when budgeting.
