Chain free two-bedroom, two-bath first-floor apartment
This chain-free two-bedroom, two-bath first-floor apartment offers a compact, modern living space in the Times Square development. At about 544 sq ft the open-plan kitchen/living area and en-suite bedroom suit first-time buyers looking for low-maintenance city living or investors targeting strong rental demand.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and a short walk to the town centre, station, and local shops (Aldi, Tesco Express). The vendor notes a possible rental income around £1,650pcm, making it straightforward to run as a buy-to-let.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold (circa 116 years remaining) with a service charge of £2,069.28 per year (£172.44 pcm) and Council Tax band C. The apartment is in a neighbourhood classed as hampered and wider multi-ethnic hardship with above-average crime and local area deprivation — factors to consider for families and some investors.
Overall this is a tidy, well-located flat that gives a low-effort route into Welwyn Garden City living. It’s best suited to first-time buyers wanting transport convenience or investors who accept the local area profile and running costs.
