Summary - 42 TALISMAN STREET HITCHIN SG4 0EZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance one-bed near town centre and station — short lease, ideal for investors.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment in a quiet cul-de-sac
A compact one-bedroom apartment set in a quiet cul-de-sac, offered chain-free and conveniently close to Hitchin town centre and the station. The block dates from the early 1990s and presents low-maintenance communal gardens and off-street communal parking — practical features for a lettable city-centre unit.
Internally the flat includes a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across approximately 313 sq ft. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity; the interior will benefit from cosmetic updating. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£912 and £250 per year respectively) and council tax is very low, keeping running costs down.
Important lease information: 69 years remain on the lease. This materially reduces future mortgage availability — some lenders may refuse to lend. The shorter lease is the principal drawback and will affect resale and financing; buyers should seek mortgage and legal advice before committing.
Overall, this property suits an investor seeking a low-service-charge rental near excellent local schools and transport links, or a buyer prepared to take on a shorter lease and possible future lease-extension costs. The size and age mean scope for cosmetic improvement rather than structural work.
