Move-in ready flat near Maidstone town centre with parking and communal grounds.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat with long 121-year lease
A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat in Basing Close, offered chain-free with a long 121-year lease. The apartment is ready to move into and suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance property close to Maidstone town centre. Communal grounds and off-street parking add practical everyday convenience.
Internally the home feels light and modern with neutral décor, wood-effect flooring, a fitted kitchen and a recently refitted bathroom. At about 593 sq ft the layout provides comfortable living space for a single occupant or couple, and the EPC C rating and mains gas central heating are positive for running costs.
The property is currently let at £950 pcm with potential to increase to around £1,100 pcm, so it can produce immediate rental income for an investor. Excellent transport links and walking distance to shops, schools and local amenities make this location strong for commuters and first-time buyers.
Buyers should note several important considerations: the block is in an area recorded as deprived with very high local crime levels; communal service charges and ground rent apply (service charge c. £1,311.80pa; ground rent £150pa); and council tax is above average. These factors affect total ownership costs and should be weighed alongside the low entry price and long lease.
