This chain-free top-floor flat offers a compact, well-lit one-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers and commuters. At approximately 380 sq ft the apartment has a generous reception room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a fitted kitchen — ready to move into while offering scope to personalise.
Practical running costs include a low ground rent (£50 p.a.) and a below-average service charge (£785.30 p.a.). The lease has around 89 years remaining, which is adequate for purchase but important to check with lenders and solicitors before committing. Heating is electric via room heaters and the property benefits from double glazing.
Location is a key strength: about 0.7 miles from Romford Elizabeth Line station and very close to several primary and secondary schools, making it convenient for commuters and young families. Communal grounds and residents’ off-street parking add everyday practicality.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the apartment is small at c.380 sq ft, uses electric heating rather than gas central heating, and the area records higher local crime levels. For investors or buyers seeking longer-term security, the sub-90-year lease may require attention and possible future extension costs.
