The building benefits from lift access, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for remote working and city convenience.
Practical costs and specifications are transparent: a long 999-year lease (from 2021), service charge around £1,069 pa and ground rent £150 pa. Heating is electric, provided by room heaters, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The flat sits in a very affluent area with low flood risk and good schools nearby, making it attractive to first-time buyers or investors.
This property is offered with no onward chain and the remainder of the NHBC warranty, reducing immediate maintenance uncertainty. Buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance apartment in a prime coastal location should view early; those wanting gas central heating or allocated parking should note the apartment’s electric heating and unallocated parking arrangement.
