Bright two-bedroom top-floor flat with a long lease and off-street parking — ideal for first-time buyers..
999-year lease recently extended (long-term security)
Light-filled top-floor apartment with two double bedrooms and a long lease — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The flat benefits from a recently extended 999-year lease, double glazing, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and a generous-sized lounge with large windows that let in plenty of natural light.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, fast broadband, mains gas central heating and a very low council tax band. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has a mid-century exterior; the communal areas and façade show signs of age and will need ongoing maintenance. The block is system-built and assumed to have no external wall insulation.
Buyers should note the annual service charge and ground rent figures listed (around £1,500 each in the data provided), which are higher than average and will affect running costs. EPC rating D and average local crime levels reflect a practical, affordable home rather than a high-spec turnkey purchase.
Overall this property offers a long lease, good internal presentation and clear rental or owner-occupier appeal in a city location. It suits someone seeking a light, ready-to-live-in flat with scope to improve communal areas and long-term energy performance if desired.
