Local area: high crime and very deprived — may affect insurance/resale
Perched on the 7th floor of a central Charles Square block, this two-double-bedroom flat offers exceptional city views, a private balcony and a generous lounge-diner. Large windows flood the apartment with natural light; the balcony runs the length of the flat and opens from the second bedroom. Two lifts serve the block, and a convenience store sits at ground level for everyday needs.
The apartment is a clear renovation opportunity: the kitchen and bathroom require replacement, flooring and decoration are dated, and the property needs modernisation throughout. The building uses a community heating scheme and double glazing is fitted (install date unknown). The lease has 89 years remaining and the tenure is leasehold — important considerations for buyers and investors.
Location is a major selling point: immediate access to Shoreditch amenities, transport links and nightlife, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. At 711 sq ft the layout suits a couple, sharers or a buy-to-let investor targeting central rental demand. Buyers should be aware the local area records high crime rates and high levels of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental values and insurance premiums.
This flat suits someone seeking a central first home or a renovation-led investment. With thoughtful updating it could deliver a contemporary home that capitalises on the spectacular views and highly connected location. Conversely, purchasers seeking a move-in-ready property should allow budget/time for a full modernisation.
