Summary - Flat C, 3 Waverley Grove PO4 0PZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact character flat near the beach, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free sale with 900 years remaining on lease
A compact first-floor two-bedroom apartment set in a handsome Victorian building, offered chain free with an unusually long lease (900 years). The flat benefits from high ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and period features that bring natural light and character to the main rooms. The galley kitchen is over 13' long and the layout includes a bathroom plus a separate W.C., practical for shared use.
Running costs look favourable: low annual service charge (£600), no ground rent and very cheap council tax. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, and the property has double glazing. Its central Southsea location gives easy access to the beach and local amenities, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors targeting students and professionals.
The apartment is small (approximately 536 sq ft) and finishes are dated — the kitchen and some internal fittings will need updating to modern standards. The building dates from the early 20th century and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may mean further energy improvements are needed. The wider area shows higher crime levels and relative deprivation, which buyers should weigh alongside the seaside location and transport links.
Overall this is a low-maintenance entry-level purchase with strong lease security and character. It suits someone wanting a central Southsea base to renovate gradually or an investor seeking a lettable two-bed near the seafront, provided they accept refurbishment and local area considerations.
