Bright one-bedroom ground-floor flat with private patio — affordable shared ownership in SW2.
40% shared ownership available, 5% minimum deposit required
This one-bedroom ground-floor flat on Roupell Road is offered via Shared Ownership at a 40% share, making central-London living more accessible for first-time buyers. The apartment feels bright and contemporary with an open-plan living room and kitchen, a double bedroom and a private patio garden — a rare outdoor space for this location. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and transport links plus local amenities make day-to-day life convenient.
Costs are transparent: the 40% share price is £140,000 (based on a full value of £350,000). Monthly costs include rent (£441.79) and a service charge (£212.33), totalling approximately £654.12 before mortgage payments; a 5% minimum deposit applies. Note there is an annual rent increase each April.
The long lease (about 170 years remaining) is a clear positive for mortgageability and future saleability. The property sits in an inner-city, established renting-families area with an average crime rate and very deprived wider area — this influences local environment and services despite nearby good schools and community amenities.
Suitable for single buyers or couples wanting an affordable route onto the property ladder, the flat will also appeal to buyers seeking a manageable home with outdoor space. It does require no major repairs disclosed, but the service charge is comparatively high for a one-bedroom and the neighbourhood’s deprivation should be considered by purchasers.
