Summary - PALACE COURT, 2 FLAT 9 THE RETREAT THORNTON HEATH CR7 8LD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, transport-linked flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Chain free one-bedroom flat, 379 sq ft
This chain-free one-bedroom flat sits a short walk from Thornton Heath High Street and station, offering quick access into Central London. The open-plan living area and double bedroom make efficient use of the compact 379 sq ft layout, suitable for a single buyer or an investor seeking a straightforward rental unit.
The property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, a service charge around £2,600 per year and a small ground rent of £125. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the windows are double glazed though the installation date is unknown. The building appears to be solid-brick construction and may benefit from additional insulation or modernising works.
Location is a clear strength: nearby shops, buses and good local schools, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The flat’s size and layout suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers looking for low-management accommodation close to transport links.
Important considerations: the surrounding area has above-average recorded crime and higher levels of deprivation, which can affect resale and rental yields. The relatively high service charge for the size of the flat and the sub-90-year lease length are material factors that buyers should review carefully.
