There are clear strengths for an entry-level purchase: river views, two outdoor spaces, parking and close links to transport and local schools. Buyers should note the above-average local crime rate and wider area deprivation indicators, plus the ongoing service charge — factors to weigh alongside the apartment’s ready-to-move-in condition. Solicitor verification of lease details, fixtures and services is recommended.
