This compact one-bedroom flat in Wanstead offers a practical, well-appointed first step onto the property ladder for buyers who meet local eligibility rules. Set on the third floor of a modern development, the flat’s open-plan kitchen/reception and full-length windows make the most of its 423 sq ft, delivering a bright, city-edge home a short walk from Wanstead High Street and the Central Line.
The apartment is move-in ready with contemporary fittings, double glazing and secure entry, plus practical extras such as built-in wardrobes and secure cycle storage. Communal gardens and vegetable beds provide outdoor space and a small community feel, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Important eligibility and ownership points are straightforward: this is a leasehold property with 119 years remaining, and buyers must be living or working in the Borough of Redbridge, earn under £90,000 per year, and not currently own another property. Ground rent is listed as £278 (average). These restrictions make the flat well suited to qualifying first-time buyers but limit appeal to a broader market.
The flat’s compact dimensions and inner-city setting suit a single buyer or couple prioritising location over large living areas. Note the local crime level is reported as high for the area; weigh this alongside Wanstead’s village amenities, good schools and quick Central Line journeys into central London when deciding if this is the right long-term base for you.
