This purpose-built two-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central Gillingham address. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a modern compact kitchen and a bright reception room within 581 sq ft of well-presented living space. Communal grounds, on-street parking and proximity to Dockside Outlet add everyday convenience.
There are important tenure considerations: the lease has around 80 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse lending when leases fall below typical lender thresholds, so buyers should obtain early mortgage advice. The property is sold with no forward chain, which can speed completion for a buyer with funds or an agreed mortgage.
The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and appears maintained; double glazing was installed post-2002 and heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. Service charges and ground rent are modest (service charge £720pa; ground rent £10pa), and council tax is described as very cheap. Note the local area records higher crime levels; viewings are recommended so buyers can assess suitability and security arrangements.
Set in a mixed-use, well-connected part of the Medway towns, the flat is a compact, practical home with potential for modest updating. Its size and tenure profile suit purchasers who understand the lease position and can arrange appropriate finance or consider cash purchase or negotiation on lease extension costs.
