Long lease — 147 years remaining

This split-level one-bedroom flat sits on the ground and lower-ground floors of a Victorian terrace in central Southend, offering an affordable entry into the city close to stations, the seafront and the university complex. The apartment is presented in good decorative order with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom with underfloor heating and direct access to a shared south-facing rear garden.
Practical benefits include a long lease (147 years remaining), double glazing, gas central heating and resident permit parking. At around 517 sq ft, the layout provides a separate reception room and a private feel despite the central location, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or an investor targeting the rental market near the university.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as deprived with relatively high crime levels, and the building’s original solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation. These factors could influence running costs and future improvement work. Council tax is very low, and transport, shops and leisure amenities are all within walking distance, which offsets some location concerns.
Overall, this flat offers sensible value for anyone wanting a centrally located, ready-to-live-in property with good transport links and rental demand, but purchasers should allow for potential retrofit or security improvements given the area characteristics.
