This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Haslemere Road offers a chain-free opportunity close to Seven Kings / the Elizabeth Line. The property comes with a share of the freehold and generous internal space of about 635 sq ft, including a large lounge and a private rear garden of approximately 54' depth.
The flat requires full modernisation and has signs of damp/mould risk in the bedroom area; renovators should budget for remedial works. The layout is traditional and straightforward, making the property suitable for a sympathetic refurbishment that would unlock rental or resale value in a well-connected part of Ilford.
A significant practical issue is the short remaining lease (circa 60 years). Many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on flats with limited leases, so buyers should confirm finance options or factor in the cost and process of extending the lease. EPC is TBC.
For first-time buyers prepared for a project or investors seeking a refurbishment opportunity near strong transport links, this flat presents clear upside once the lease position and renovation costs are addressed. The location benefits from local amenities, good broadband and excellent mobile signal.
