• Bright open-plan living room with large windows and city views
• Long lease: 177 years remaining
• Above-average service charge: £4,750 per year
• Ground rent: £300 per year

• Excellent transport links: Overground and river services nearby
• Area: inner-city cosmopolitan; some local deprivation and average crime
Set on the 12th floor of Aragon Tower, this two-bedroom duplex flat offers bright, open-plan living with large windows and a private balcony to one bedroom. The layout and contemporary fittings suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance city home with sensible living space — ideal for first-time purchasers or buy-to-let investors.
Practicalities are clear: the lease has 177 years remaining, which is long; however the property is leasehold with an above-average service charge (£4,750 pa) and ground rent of £300 pa. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal system, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
The building provides added security and convenience with a 24-hour concierge. Transport links are strong, with Surrey Quays Overground and river services nearby, and local amenities include cafés, shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach.
The area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan pocket with good digital connectivity and strong potential for rental demand. Buyers should note the borough records some deprivation and average crime levels; the flat’s mid-1980s construction and assumed insulated system-built walls suggest solid basics but limited period character.
