This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Rope Quays offers an accessible, low-maintenance home in a modern development. The open-plan reception and kitchen, Juliet balcony and allocated parking make day-to-day living straightforward for a first-time buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in property. Lift access and communal gardens add extra convenience and outdoor space without private garden upkeep.
Practical running costs are clear: the lease has about 105 years remaining, ground rent is £175 per year and the service charge is approximately £1,956 annually (£163 pcm). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a central gas system, so buyers should expect higher electricity use compared with gas-heated homes.
Important to note: the block is currently undergoing fire-safety upgrade works and has scaffolding in place until work completes (scheduled October 2025). The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is in a very deprived area classification; prospective buyers should factor local safety and resale considerations into their decision.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free starter home or buy-to-let opportunity with modern fittings and secure parking. It suits someone prioritising low-maintenance urban living close to Gosport High Street and local transport, provided they are comfortable with the current building works, electric heating and the area's wider social challenges.
