Built circa 1996–2002 with double glazing (install date unknown)

Local area: high crime levels and high deprivation — consider impact
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment on Ferndale Road, ideal for a first-time buyer looking for an affordable Brixton base. The open-plan reception gives a feeling of space for entertaining, with large windows and wood flooring creating an immediate sense of comfort. The property sits on the second floor and benefits from a well-kept communal area.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (103 years remaining), modest ground rent (£150), and low council tax keep running costs predictable. The home was built around 1996–2002 and has double glazing; heating is by electric room heaters, so consider running costs if you prefer gas central heating. Broadband speeds are average.
Location is a major draw — you are in the heart of Brixton with fast links via the Victoria Line and numerous buses, plus cafés, restaurants and amenities on the doorstep. Be aware the local area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived; that affects ambience and should be considered alongside the property’s value and rental potential.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking an affordable city flat with good transport and social amenities, ready to move into and personalise rather than undertake major works. Leasehold-related admin or fees (e.g., lease packs) may apply during purchase.
