Summary - 72 VERONICA CLOSE ROMFORD RM3 8JW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready-to-move London starter with Elizabeth Line access and communal parking.
Second-floor one-bedroom flat, recently refurbished throughout
A recently refurbished one-bedroom flat on the second floor, ready to move into with no onward chain. The property offers a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a spacious reception room — practical living for a first purchase or a straightforward buy-to-let. Communal parking and a security entrance system add everyday convenience.
The location is a key asset: Harold Wood Elizabeth Line station is about a mile away, with Romford town centre close by for shops and amenities. The flat is 513 sq ft and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002, so internal upkeep is minimal following the recent refurbishment.
Buyers should factor in some material considerations. The lease has 89 years remaining, the service charge is approximately £2,400 per year and ground rent is £10 per year. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow and local crime levels are high; the wider neighbourhood scores as very deprived. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and walls are assumed cavity construction with no added insulation, which may affect heating costs.
For first-time buyers this is a move-in ready, lower-cost London entry point with clear rental potential for investors. Check lease details and service charge breakdown before offer, and allow for possible energy improvements if long-term running costs are a priority.
