Chain-free starter or rental opportunity with communal garden and parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, 125-year lease
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable, chain-free entry to Ilford living with a 125-year lease and communal parking. The block built in the 1980s has double glazing and a communal garden, and the service charge includes the water bill—helpful for predictable outgoings.
The layout is compact at about 421 sq ft, with a double bedroom, lounge/dining space and separate kitchen. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The service charge (£1,740 p.a.) and small ground rent (£50 p.a.) are important to factor into affordability calculations.
Transport links are a strong selling point: Ilford and Barking stations are nearby with direct routes into central London and Canary Wharf—appealing to commuters. Local amenities, shops and schools are close by, and Westfield Stratford is a short train journey away for larger retail and leisure options.
Buyers should note the local context: the area is relatively deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect suitability for some purchasers. The flat is best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental opportunity with reliable transport connections.
