A compact one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a secure gated development, a short walk from Margate’s seafront and 0.3 miles from the railway station. The open-plan living/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom sit within a modern building completed in the mid-2000s, and the flat includes an allocated off-street parking space — useful in a town-centre location.
This property suits investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let or an owner-occupier wanting a low-footprint seaside base. The long lease (999 years from 2006) removes a common leasehold concern and the EPC rating of C indicates reasonable efficiency for the size. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern rental demand.
Important practical points: the apartment is small (around 439 sq ft) and positioned in an area identified as very deprived with higher crime levels, which may affect rental yield, resale pricing, or owner preferences. The sale is by online auction on 4 November 2025 — there are non-refundable fees (administration £1,200 inc. VAT and buyer’s premium £1,000 inc. VAT) payable on exchange, and buyers should consult the legal pack for any additional disbursements before bidding.
In short, this is a low-maintenance, leasehold seaside flat with parking and strong transport links. It offers clear rental or holiday-let potential but carries location-related considerations and upfront auction costs that buyers must factor into any offer.
