Summary - 59 EMPRESS AVENUE E12 5SA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat with freehold option — close to Wanstead Park and transport.
Chain-free ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approx. 542 sq ft
This ground-floor, two-bedroom leasehold flat in Aldersbrook offers compact, practical living in a well-connected E12 location. At about 542 sq ft the layout is open-plan and suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental income. The property is chain-free and benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
The building presents a clear value opportunity: the sale includes the option to acquire the freehold for all three flats in the block, making this attractive for an investor or buyer who wants control over management and future works. Proximity to Wanstead Park, good local schools and fast broadband make the flat appealing for tenants or a small household.
There are some material considerations to note. The block’s exterior and some communal elements appear to need updating; images indicate exposed wiring and tired brickwork, and the double glazing installation date is unknown. The flat is small, so storage and space will be limited. Parking is on-street only and the tenure is leasehold, so buyers should review the lease length and service arrangements.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase that suits someone prepared to accept a compact home or undertake modest refurbishment to add value. For investors, the combination of a chain-free sale and the freehold option for three flats gives scope to improve returns through refurbishment and longer-term management control.
