A compact one-bedroom apartment in Pine Court, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The second-floor flat provides an open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen with a Juliette balcony, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an allocated off-street parking space — practical features for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser.
Practical running costs include a long lease (circa 140 years), service charges of about £1,620 per year (£135 monthly) and a ground rent of £200 per year. Council Tax Band B is relatively low, but main heating is via electric storage heaters which may affect winter energy bills compared with gas-heated properties.
Location is convenient for Basildon town centre, shops and transport links, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal making it suitable for home working. Immediate surroundings are urban and modern, but the wider area records high crime levels and socioeconomic deprivation; buyers should consider local safety and investment risks.
The apartment is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base or an investor looking for a low-entry rental asset. It’s a practical, low-maintenance home with renovation potential to improve energy efficiency and interior specification, but buyers should factor in neighbourhood issues and the electric heating when budgeting.
