Bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment set within a converted Victorian mid-terrace, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The open-plan reception/kitchen creates a generous social space, with modern kitchen units, wood laminate floors and a gas boiler serving radiators. Double-glazed windows and an EPC rating of C help with running costs.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: 534 sq ft, approximately 107 years remaining on a 125-year lease from 2007, current ground rent £100 pa (increasing every 25 years), and an average service charge of £1,188 pa (about £99 monthly). Council Tax Band C (2025–26 £1,809.34).
Location is a strong convenience point — short walk to Cricklewood station, frequent buses and local shops, with gyms and leisure close by. Nearby schools include highly rated primary and secondary options, a benefit for buyers with young children.
Buyers should note material drawbacks factually. The area records very high crime and local deprivation indicators; this will affect resale expectations and personal security considerations. The building is an older solid-brick Victorian terrace (likely no cavity insulation), and external notes reference potential damp and minor repairs. The flat is modest in size, so storage and space are limited compared with larger family homes.
Overall, this property is best suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable London entry point with good transport links, or buy-to-let investors aware of the local market challenges. Factor in ongoing service charges, ground rent review dates, and potential maintenance work when deciding to view.
