2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable, compact flat with parking and low running costs ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom flat, ready to occupy
A chain-free two-bedroom flat in Helen House, offered as an affordable entry into Bedford’s property market. The compact 513 sq ft layout is practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation with low annual service costs and allocated off-street parking.
The apartment was built in the 1983–1990 period and benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home or attracting tenants. Local amenities, bus links and several primary and secondary schools are within walking distance.
Important facts to consider: the property is leasehold with around 86 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £650 per year and a ground rent of about £10 per year. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and has a higher local crime rate, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand. Council tax band is not provided.
For buyers who prioritise affordability, convenience and a quick move, this flat is a pragmatic option. It suits first-time purchasers wanting a manageable home or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental, but buyers should factor in the lease length and local area challenges when assessing future value and returns.
