A top-floor two-bedroom apartment on London Road offering an affordable entry into Benfleet. The flat includes a boarded loft with power, an allocated off-street parking space and double glazing, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home in a well-connected area.
The location is a strong asset: shops, restaurants and frequent bus routes are all close by, with good local schools and everyday amenities within easy walking distance. The apartment’s 581 sq ft layout is compact but useable, with a contemporary living room and straightforward finishes that suit modern refurb or rental use.
Important: the property is leasehold with 64 years remaining. That remaining term is likely to restrict mortgage availability and many lenders may refuse to lend without a lease extension. Annual charges are service charge £1,221 and ground rent £75, which should be factored into affordability and investment return calculations.
Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas heating, so running costs can be higher; mains gas is present in the building but the flat uses electric heating. For buyers prepared to manage the lease issue—either purchasing cash, arranging specialist finance, or budgeting for a lease extension—this apartment offers good location value and immediate rental or owner-occupier potential.
