Summary - 52 PORTLAND CLOSE ROMFORD RM6 5UE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact low‑maintenance flat with parking and communal gardens, close to transport links.
Long lease — approximately 176 years remaining
Set on the first floor of a low-rise post‑war block, this one-bedroom flat offers compact, low‑maintenance living with a long lease and an allocated parking space. The 18ft reception/dining room and 14ft bedroom make the apartment comfortable for a single occupant or couple, while communal gardens give outdoor space without upkeep.
Practical features include a peppercorn ground rent, an estimated annual service charge of £1,626.94 (year ending 31/03/2026) and approximately 176 years remaining on the lease. The property is electrically heated via storage heaters and has double glazing installed after 2002; the EPC is rated E, which may affect running costs.
Location is a strength: St Chad’s Park and local leisure venues are nearby, the A12 is within 0.4 miles, and Chadwell Heath station (Elizabeth Line) is about 1.0 mile away. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the area records above‑average crime, which buyers should weigh against the convenience and transport links.
This flat suits first‑time buyers seeking an affordable London entry point or investors after a simple, lettable one‑bed. The accommodation will reward modest redecoration or targeted improvements (heating and energy upgrades) to reduce running costs and improve appeal.
