Summary - 154 PRINCE REGENT LANE PLAISTOW LONDON E13 8SG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Generous living space and direct Elizabeth Line links for first-time buyers.
Private rear garden — uncommon for a one-bed flat
A spacious one-bedroom ground-floor flat offering a private rear garden and a full-sized separate kitchen — rare for this price band and area. The property sits about a 20-minute walk from Custom House (DLR/Elizabeth Line) and close to Plaistow stations, making it an attractive commuter option for first-time buyers working in the City, Canary Wharf or Stratford. At 517 sq ft, the flat feels generous for a one-bed, with separate living and sleeping spaces that suit long-term homeownership or a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical strengths include a long lease (101 years), a low ground rent (£10), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low flood risk. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. The service charge is £830 (below average for some blocks), and council tax is described as cheap.
Notable issues are presented openly: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which will affect resale and rental demand. The building dates from 1930–1949 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, so buyers should expect possible energy-efficiency improvements and modernization work. On-street permit parking only.
This flat suits a first-time buyer wanting space and excellent transport links who is willing to modernise to improve comfort and long-term value. It will also appeal to investors seeking a lettable central-Essex Docklands location, though the local crime statistics and area deprivation should be factored into yield and management plans.
