This compact one-bedroom apartment on South Street offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking easy access to central London. Set on the second floor of a purpose-built block, the flat provides defined living and cooking spaces, built-in storage, and a quiet outlook within the development.
Practical positives include proximity to Romford station (about 0.4 miles) with Elizabeth Line services, a garage parking space, and a shared garden. The building benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and an EPC rating of D, while council tax costs are described as affordable.
Buyers should note important constraints: the apartment is small (approximately 429 sq ft) and held on a lease with about 88 years remaining. Ground rent is currently £150 but is stated to rise to £750; the service charge level is not confirmed. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, and the wider area records higher crime and local deprivation indexes.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-hassle opportunity for someone prioritising transport links and an affordable entry into the area. The property suits a buyer prepared to accept a shorter lease, variable charges, and modest living space in exchange for convenience and a speedy, chain-free move.
