The property is leasehold with 112 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,350 per year. Double glazing and insulated cavity walls (as built) help retain warmth, but the heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating — a practical solution but one that can be more costly to run depending on usage and tariffs. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no significant flooding risk.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-located, ready-to-live-in home close to good schools, shops, bars and transport links. The block dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and is presented in sensible condition; buyers should note the communal service charge and that any buyer wanting lower-running-cost heating would need to consider upgrades. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the size and natural light.
Overall this is a practical, well-positioned one-bed with usable outdoor space and parking — a straightforward, attainable option in a very desirable Leigh-on-Sea location.
