• Chain-free sale for a quicker, simpler purchase
• Bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen across ~511 sq ft
• Double bedroom with built-in storage, modern bathroom suite
• Electric room heaters (no gas) — potentially higher running costs
• Area classed as deprived with above-average local crime levels

This one-bedroom apartment in the 21 West development offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home for first-time buyers. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen create a bright social space across approximately 511 sq ft, while the double bedroom includes built-in storage for practical everyday living. An extended lease of around 170 years and no onward chain make financing and purchase simpler than many leasehold options.
The location is a genuine strength: West Street and nearby North Street/Wapping Wharf put shops, cafes and a wide range of amenities on your doorstep, with excellent public transport links for city commuting. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and benefits from double glazing for thermal comfort and noise reduction.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime statistics and a cosmopolitan, student-heavy population — factors to consider for families or those seeking a quieter neighbourhood. Council tax is very low, and the apartment’s rental prospects are strong for buy-to-let investors given local demand.
Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers seeking an easy-to-manage city base or investors targeting strong rental demand. The long lease and chain-free status reduce transaction friction, while the open-plan layout and central location deliver everyday convenience.
