This top-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in central Southsea on Albert Road, offering a compact, convenient base for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The long 976-year lease and allocated off-street parking provide ownership security and practical everyday benefits in a busy seaside town centre.
The layout includes a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a sizeable storage room; at about 562 sq ft the flat is best suited to singles, couples, or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental. The building dates from the 1980s and has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: an average annual service charge of £1,391.36 applies, and there is a single bathroom. The property is compact and will suit those happy to accept modest room sizes rather than larger family accommodation. The neighbouring area is lively with many amenities, good broadband and mobile coverage, but recorded local crime levels are high, which should be factored into ownership or lettings decisions.
Overall this is an affordable entry into Southsea with strong location appeal and long lease security. It will reward buyers who prioritise central convenience and parking, and investors seeking a straightforward rental in a popular coastal neighbourhood, though some cosmetic updating may be needed to maximise rental or resale value.
