Set on Southampton's High Street, this fourth-floor apartment offers a straightforward city-centre living option for a first-time buyer or investor. The flat is offered with no onward chain and benefits from lift access, a private balcony and modern décor throughout. Its compact layout suits a single occupant or a rental let to students or young professionals.
Practical details are favourable: a long lease (about 106 years remaining), an EWS1 rating of B1 (no remedial works required) and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for city living. The building was constructed in the early 2000s and communal areas are maintained, though check parking availability with the management company if needed.
Buyers should be aware that the apartment is small (approximately 360 sq ft) and heated by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can affect running costs. The property carries an annual service charge of around £1,500 and a ground rent of about £150. The immediate area is a lively, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with a strong student presence — good for rental demand but potentially less suitable for those seeking quiet surroundings.
Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance city flat that offers immediate occupancy and rental potential, provided you accept the limitations of size, electric heating and the charges associated with leasehold ownership.
