This chain-free, newly renovated ground-floor flat offers a practical, move-in-ready home for first-time buyers and an attractive buy-to-let for investors. The open-plan living space and modern finishes create a bright, efficient 608 sq ft layout that feels larger than its footprint.
The property benefits from a very long lease (949 years), low ground rent (£25 pa) and a clear potential yield of around 8.1% for lettings. Large windows and contemporary flooring give the main living area good natural light; both bedrooms are usefully proportioned for a small household.
Be clear about the running costs and building character: heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the building dates from the late 1960s–1970s with a communal entrance and no on-site lift. Service charges average £1,332 pa (about £111 pcm). Broadband is average and the property is in a major conurbation with excellent mobile signal and very low local crime.
Overall this is a compact, sensible purchase for someone seeking an easy first home or an income-producing flat with minimal immediate maintenance, balanced by modest service costs and the limitations of electric heating and a mid-century block exterior.
