Top-floor, chain-free two-bed close to Cosham station — lease length may affect mortgageability.
Two double bedrooms with good-size lounge/dining room
A top-floor two-double-bedroom apartment in Cosham offering immediate move-in and commuter convenience. The flat is presented in neutral, tidy condition with a fitted kitchen, white bathroom suite and a good-size lounge/dining room with Juliet balcony that brings in natural light. The property comes with a share of freehold and is offered with no onward chain, making completion potentially quicker for a buyer who wants to move straight away.
Important lease and finance considerations are clear: there are approximately 78 years remaining on the lease. That remaining term is likely to restrict mortgage options and some lenders may refuse lending until the lease is extended. Service charges are approximately £2,300 per year (including buildings insurance); there is no ground rent.
Practical positives include on-site covered parking, close proximity to Cosham train station and local amenities, and good local schools. Drawbacks to factor into budget and lifestyle are the very high local crime rate, very slow broadband speeds, and the building’s urban setting with no private garden — only Juliet balcony access.
This flat suits a buyer seeking a reasonably priced, ready-to-live-in city apartment with commuter links — provided they check mortgageability or plan to buy with cash. The property also offers potential for modest cosmetic improvement to increase appeal, but any buyer should confirm lease extension costs and lender requirements before committing.
