This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Richmond Court offers an affordable entry into Romford with easy access to the Elizabeth Line. The open-plan lounge/diner and modern kitchen create a practical living space across 368 sq ft, and allocated parking plus communal gardens add useful outdoor and parking benefits. The property is offered chain-free and in good internal condition, making it straightforward to move into or let out.
The location is a key draw: Romford Elizabeth Line station is about 0.6 miles away, providing rapid connections for commuting and city access. Broadband is described as fast and mobile signal as excellent — helpful for home working or streaming. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and local amenities cover shops, buses and eateries.
There are some important considerations. The lease has 85 years remaining, which is short enough to affect mortgage eligibility and future resale value; lease extension will likely be needed. Heating is electric rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs in winter. The area records above-average crime levels, so buyers should check local reports and consider security measures.
Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-entry purchase near excellent transport links. It presents immediate usability with scope for modest updating, but buyers should factor in lease length, heating costs and local safety when assessing long-term value.
