Summary - 47 DAIRYMAN CLOSE LONDON NW2 1EP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free first-floor apartment near Thameslink with gated parking and amenities.
• First-floor one-bedroom flat with gated parking
• Share of freehold, sold chain-free
• 489 sq ft — average-sized urban layout
• 73 years remaining on lease — lenders may refuse
• Service charge about £1,875 per year
• Electric storage heaters — potentially higher running costs
• Close to Cricklewood Broadway and Thameslink station
• Built c.1976–82; likely benefits from cosmetic updating
This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Dairyman Close sits within a gated development close to Cricklewood Broadway and Thameslink station, making it convenient for commuting and local amenities. The apartment offers a large reception room, separate kitchen and bathroom, and gated parking — attractive features for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward urban accommodation.
Important practical points are clear: the property is sold chain-free with a share of freehold, but the lease has 73 years remaining. That remaining term is a material concern — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and extending the lease will be an added cost and process to factor in before purchase. Service charges are approximately £1,875 per year and council tax is moderate (Band D).
Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has double glazing; buyers should note potential running costs are higher than gas-heated properties. The flat was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s and presents a solid, average-sized living space of around 489 sq ft that may benefit from light updating depending on buyer tastes.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free option for someone who values transport links and gated parking and who either can buy cash or is prepared to address the short lease issue. Investors should check lender criteria for the lease length; owner-occupiers should obtain quotes and timescales for a lease extension before committing.
