The lease is long (about 105–106 years remaining) giving security of tenure for buyers.
Buyers should note material running costs: a high annual service charge of £8,269.55 and a ground rent of £405.00. The building sits in an area flagged as very deprived with higher local crime rates, which may concern some purchasers despite excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities.
The flat’s interior styling is dated and will suit someone who prefers modest, ready-to-move-in accommodation or who’s willing to refresh décor. This property is specifically age-restricted (minimum age 60), so it’s aimed at downsizers seeking a supported, sociable environment rather than families or first-time buyers.
