Compact, freshly refurbished flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Chain-free with a 999-year lease
A newly refurbished, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Caversham presented with a long 999-year lease and immediate move-in potential. At about 403 sq ft, the layout is compact but thoughtfully arranged, with a bright living room, separate kitchen and a stylish shower room. The property suits first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or investors targeting an easy-to-let, centrally located flat.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, a communal garden and modern double glazing. The home has mains gas central heating, an EPC rating of C and council tax band B, helping to keep running costs reasonable. Service charges average around £1,038 per year; ground rent is a peppercorn.
Important considerations are the apartment’s small overall size and a recorded high flood risk for the area — both relevant for insurance and future resale. The building dates from the 1980s with period exterior features nearby; the flat has been renovated internally but buyers should check specifics on fixtures and any communal maintenance plans.
Overall this is an economical, well-presented starter home or rental unit within easy reach of Reading town centre, local schools and public transport. Viewings will suit buyers wanting a straightforward, refurbished property with long lease security and modest ongoing costs.
