Summary - 62 DEFOE WAY ROMFORD RM5 2HR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
No onward chain — ready for a quick sale
A no-onward-chain, first-floor one-bedroom flat offering an affordable entry into Romford with practical living space and good transport links. The flat sits in a mid‑20th-century block and benefits from double glazing, a modern kitchen layout and a compact shower room. At about 480 sq ft it suits a single buyer or couple seeking a manageable home or buy-to-let opportunity.
The location is convenient for buses to Romford and Hainault stations, with A12/A127/M25 road links nearby and local shops, schools and green spaces within easy reach. Council tax is low, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and on-site communal garden and balcony space add outdoor options.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,466 pa and a ground rent of £10 (details to verify). The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation or energy upgrades may be required. The flat is liveable now but offers scope for cosmetic updating to increase value and comfort.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who values no chain, good connectivity and modest running costs. Factor lease length and service charge into long-term plans and consider modest insulation or heating improvements to reduce future energy bills.
