Summary - York Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 SS1 2RU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready-to-rent property near seafront with long lease and tenant in situ.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, approx. 440 sq ft
A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat in a period building, recently refreshed and fitted with a modern kitchen and new boiler. The property benefits from high ceilings, a bay-front lounge that maximises natural light, and recently fitted double glazing. At about 440 sq ft, the layout is traditional and efficient for a single occupant or couple.
This unit is offered with a sitting tenant currently paying £945 pcm, making it immediately income-producing for a buy-to-let purchaser. The long lease (circa 188 years remaining) and gas central heating reduce short-term ownership risk. The location is close to the seafront, parks and transport links, which supports tenant demand and rental appeal.
Buyers should note material negatives: the wider area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. Tenure is leasehold—appropriate checks on service charges and ground rent are recommended. The flat is in a communal retirement classification locally, which may influence future purchaser profiles or resale dynamics.
Overall, this property suits an investor seeking a low-management, income-producing asset in a town-centre location, or a buyer looking for a renovated one-bed close to seafront amenities who accepts the local area social challenges.
