This one-bedroom leasehold flat (approx. 570 sq ft / 53 sqm) is offered at auction and presents a clear value proposition for cash buyers or experienced investors prepared to manage a short lease. Set within a 1970s–80s modernist block, the apartment includes a reception room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus a small garden — a rare outdoor asset for a ground-floor flat in this area.
The property requires some renovation and the front garden is unkempt, so there is scope to add value through basic updating. Its location is practical for commuters: West Drayton station (Elizabeth Line and Great Western services) is about 1.2 miles away and the M4/M25 are readily accessible. Thorney Country Park and local schools are within easy reach, adding everyday convenience for tenants or future occupants.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the lease has approximately 54 years remaining. Lenders may refuse mortgages on this basis, so the sale is likely only suitable for cash buyers or those able to secure specialist finance. The wider area scores high on deprivation and records above-average crime levels, factors that will influence rental demand and resale prospects.
Sold at auction, the flat is straightforward to view via scheduled open times or virtual tour. For investors, the combination of low entry price and refurbishment potential could deliver upside, provided the lease issue and local market characteristics are factored into purchase and exit strategies.
