This first-floor two-bedroom flat in Haubourdin Court is offered with no onward chain and an allocated off-street parking space. The apartment measures around 625 sq ft and has an open-plan lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the property is heated by electric storage heaters.
The major practical consideration is the short lease: 63 years remain. Many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on leases under typical lender cut-offs, so buyers will likely need cash or to arrange a specialist mortgage or lease extension before or soon after purchase. The current tenant has been given notice and the property is due to be vacated in June 2025, making it straightforward to take immediate possession thereafter.
For investors and hands-on buyers this flat offers clear potential: scope to refresh the interior and modernise heating and finishes, plus steady local rental demand in a town with good primary school options and local amenities. Be aware the area records above-average crime statistics, and buyers should factor in possible remedial or management costs.
All measurements and descriptions are approximate. Buyers should instruct their own surveys and checks on lender acceptability, lease extension costs, service charges and any other charges prior to offer.
