Summary - 49 FLAT 4 EDWARD STREET DUNSTABLE LU6 1HE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact town-centre opportunity for cash buyers or hands-on investors.
Chain-free, cash buyers only — mortgage lenders likely to refuse
Set in the heart of Dunstable town centre, this one-bedroom leasehold apartment offers a compact, affordable entry to central living or a buy-to-let opportunity. The layout includes a separate living room and kitchen, a light double bedroom and a functional bathroom. Off-street communal parking and a small shared outdoor seating area add convenience in a central location with fast broadband and good mobile signal.
Important practical factors are clear: the remaining lease is around 61–62 years and mortgage lenders are likely to refuse standard mortgages, so this property is suitable for cash purchasers only. Ground rent is £100 per year and building insurance is charged at about £30 per month; there is effectively no additional service charge. Heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with central heating.
The flat is small (c. 408 sq ft) and will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance city-centre base or an investor comfortable managing a short-lease purchase and any refurbishment. The building appears traditionally constructed with average thermal performance, and the communal areas and exterior offer basic but practical upkeep. Nearby amenities, schools and transport links make the location genuinely convenient.
As a straightforward, chain-free sale, this property is best for a cash buyer prepared to accept the short lease and electric heating, or for an investor able to factor lease-extension costs into the purchase. For anyone seeking a ready-made mortgageable home, this is likely not suitable without addressing the lease length first.
