Notable costs and specification points are clear: the average service charge is around £2,200pa with a £220 ground rent, and heating is via electric storage heaters. The overall internal size is small at 575 sq ft, so buyers should expect compact rooms and limited storage. The apartment is presented in a basic contemporary condition and may benefit from updating to maximise value.
