A top-floor one-bedroom flat offering straightforward, modern living in Harold Hill. The flat has a double bedroom, open-plan lounge/kitchen and a bathroom — a practical layout for a first home or buy-to-let. The building sits near main arterial routes (M25/A12/A127) and local bus links, with communal gardens and easy on-street parking.
This property is offered chain free and presents an affordable entry to the area. Service charge and ground rent are noted (approx. £1,449 service charge; £10 ground rent). The lease has 89 years remaining — sufficient for purchase but shorter than new-builds, so lease length should be considered if planning mortgage or long-term investment strategies.
Practical issues are straightforward but important: broadband speeds are reported slow, the building’s walls are solid brick with assumed no loft insulation, and the neighbourhood records high area deprivation. Crime is average for the area. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). These factors affect running costs and potential renovation needs.
This flat suits a cost-conscious first-time buyer wanting a simple, chain-free purchase close to transport, or an investor seeking a low-entry rental asset. Be aware of the lease length, running costs and local market conditions before proceeding.
