Summary - Flat 9 Halstead Court, 36, Verulam Avenue, LONDON E17 8EW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Excellent transport links and long lease; practical starter or buy-to-let pick.
Ground-floor one-bedroom with communal garden access
A practical one-bedroom ground-floor apartment with direct access to well-kept communal gardens, ideal for someone buying their first home or creating a rental opportunity. The layout is compact but efficient, with an elongated lounge/diner, separate kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. At 431 sq ft the flat is manageable to run and is offered with 151 years remaining on the lease.
Location is a genuine selling point: frequent Overground and Victoria Line connections are within a 10–15 minute walk, and local buses serve nearby stops. Good mobile signal and proximity to several highly rated primary schools add everyday convenience for commuters and young families. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs comparatively low.
Buyers should note the property’s limitations frankly: the overall size is small, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the wider area has above-average crime and higher deprivation indices. The service charge is approximately £1,728 per year (£144 pcm). The building is a post-war purpose-built block, so purchasers wanting modern finishes may wish to budget for cosmetic updating.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable London foothold with long lease security and excellent transport links, this flat offers straightforward value. Those prioritising fast broadband, substantial living space, or a very low-crime locale should consider whether the compromise on size and local context fits their needs.
