A ground-floor studio in an electronic gated development offering secure access, an allocated parking space and communal gardens. The layout includes a separate kitchen and a full bathroom, and the living area opens directly onto the shared garden — helpful for outdoor access and natural light.
The flat is offered chain free and sits on a shortish 84-year lease, which will need addressing quickly; lease extension costs should be factored into any purchase. There is also a substantial service charge (circa £2,366 pa) and a small ground rent, which affect total holding costs.
The building dates from the 1980s and the flat has electric room heating and secondary glazing; these are practical but mean the property will benefit from updating to improve comfort and running costs. The location is inner‑city and well connected to local amenities, schools and transport, but the area records higher crime and is relatively deprived — buyers should weigh that against the gated setting and good broadband and mobile coverage.
This home will suit a first‑time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into SE13 who can accept maintenance and lease-extension work, or a buyer wanting a low‑maintenance base with parking in a secure development.
