Chain free two-bedroom second-floor apartment
A bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, offered with a long 157-year lease and no ground rent. At about 657 sq ft, the layout provides a generous living room, a good-sized kitchen and two double bedrooms — a practical home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward management.
The block is a mid-20th-century brick build with clean, modern-style interiors throughout; the flat has been freshly painted and is ready to move into. Walking distance to Romford town centre and transport links, the location gives quick access to shopping, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuting and renting to professionals.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating. Annual service charge is approximately £1,800 and council tax band B is relatively low. The area records higher crime levels than average, so buyers should consider security measures and check local crime details.
Nearby schools include several well-rated primary and secondary options (Good to Outstanding Ofsted ratings). The apartment suits someone wanting an affordable entry into the area with renovation potential to add value, but be mindful of running costs and local safety statistics when deciding to view.
