Summary - BASEMENT, THE OLD BOND STORE, BACK OF THE WALLS SO14 3HA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact contemporary apartment with parking and modern finish ideal for first buyers.
Central Southampton city-centre location, close to shops and transport
A compact one-bedroom basement apartment in the heart of Southampton city centre, offered with no forward chain. The flat sits in a contemporary block and delivers a modern open-plan living space, integrated kitchen appliances and an allocated undercroft parking space — rare for city-centre living. With 117 years remaining on the lease and contemporary finishes, it suits a buyer wanting an easy-to-manage first home or a landlord seeking a city-let.
Practical running costs and ownership details are important here. Annual service charges are substantial (listed at £1,819.16) and ground rent is £250 per year; buyers should confirm future review provisions and any planned increases. Heating is electric via room heaters, and mains electricity is the primary fuel, which can mean higher running bills compared with gas-heated homes.
Location is a clear strength: immediate access to West Quay, Ocean Village, parks and transport links, plus local amenities and leisure close by. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow in the area, and crime levels are very high locally — factors to weigh for both lifestyle and rental demand. Overall, the apartment offers easy city living and investment potential but comes with notable service costs and local area considerations that buyers must verify in conveyancing and surveys.
