Summary - 13 HODISTER CLOSE LONDON SE5 0JZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable central SE5 entry point close to rapid transport links.
Chain free one-bedroom flat on first floor
A compact one-bedroom flat on the first floor of a low-rise post‑war block, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation or lettings. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen/living area, a separate study room, a double bedroom and a modern bathroom — practical for a single buyer or investor. The 95-year lease provides mid-term security, and the property’s central SE5 location means fast transport links to central London and local shops, cafés and services.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (approximately 342 sq ft) and communal heating arrangement. The service charge is approximately £3,500 per year (communal boiler), which affects running costs; ground rent is a nominal £10. The block’s 1960s concrete architecture is functional but dated, and the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, which may influence long-term capital growth and rental demand.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable central London entry point or an investor after a compact rental unit close to good transport and several well-rated schools. There is visible scope to personalise or update the interior for greater appeal, but factor in ongoing service costs and the building’s communal maintenance when assessing value.
