Summary - Flat 11, 49 Baddow Road, CHELMSFORD CM2 0DD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, modern one-bedroom flat near station and university — ideal for investors or first-time buyers..
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, c.331 sq ft
A compact, purpose-built one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Chelmsford city centre, built in 2017 and offered vacant with immediate possession potential. At about 331 sq ft the apartment suits buy-to-let investors or a first-time buyer seeking a modest city base close to the station, university and local amenities.
Practical features include off-street communal parking, communal gardens and 117 years remaining on the lease. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and shower room are straightforward and low-maintenance; electric boiler and radiators provide heating. Council Tax Band B and fast broadband/mobiles are positives for renters.
Buyers should note this lot is sold by livestream auction with additional purchase costs: an administration fee of £1,200 (inc VAT) and a buyer’s premium of £1,500 (inc VAT) payable on exchange. The property has an EPC rating of D, medium flood risk and is in an area with very high recorded crime — factors to consider for long-term holding strategy or insurance costs.
This is a realistic entry-price city flat offering rental potential given proximity to transport and the university. It will suit a buyer prepared to manage location-related considerations (crime and flood risk) and the extra auction-related fees, or an investor seeking a straightforward, low-upkeep asset to add to a portfolio.
