A compact one-bedroom top-floor apartment in a period building on Cricklewood Broadway, offered with a 100-year lease and modest running costs. The open-plan kitchen/living area and double bedroom make efficient use of 315 sq ft, suitable for a young professional, student or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward rental income. Transport links are strong, with Thameslink and frequent buses to central London and the Jubilee and Overground lines.
The building’s Victorian character and high ceilings add period appeal, while contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathroom offer immediacy for tenants or owners. Annual service charge (£450) and ground rent (£150) are relatively low, and council tax is inexpensive — positives for running costs and yield calculations.
Buyers should note material context: the flat is small and the wider area records higher crime and local deprivation, factors that can affect tenant profiles and rental levels. The property sits in a solid brick building likely lacking cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and energy performance. Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter or investment purchase that rewards buyers who prioritise location and yield over space and who are comfortable with occasional maintenance and area considerations.
