Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the area has an above-average crime rate. There is a high flood risk for this postcode — buyers must factor in insurance and mitigation costs.
Overall, this is an affordable, centrally located one-bedroom with parking and no onward chain. It offers convenient seaside living and investment potential but requires buyers to accept leasehold terms, running costs, and local environmental and safety considerations before proceeding.
