This split-level two-bedroom maisonette in Wanstead offers a practical, chain-free entry into a popular East London neighbourhood. The property benefits from a private entrance, a bay-front reception room with large windows and good natural light, and a small private garden — useful extras for first-time buyers or a small family.
The flat comes with an exceptionally long lease (around 960 years remaining) and no service charge; ground rent is currently £100 per year. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local schools are well regarded, making the location convenient for daily life and commuting. The layout includes a reception room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one mezzanine), and a bathroom with a utility area.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating; the property has partial cavity-wall insulation only and was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Externally the covered porch and frontage appear overgrown and will need maintenance. Room sizes are small to medium and the maisonette will suit those seeking a modest-sized home rather than spacious accommodation.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located purchase for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-management leasehold with long-term ownership security. It requires modest updating and external upkeep but presents clear value given the long lease, chain-free sale, and strong local amenities.
