Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 162C Copnor Road PO3 5BZ
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact ground-floor flat with investment potential and nearby transport links.
Large lounge with double-glazed front window
A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat in central Copnor Road, suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry purchase in Portsmouth. The apartment offers a large lounge, separate kitchen and a shower room with a separate W/C, arranged within a modest 388 sq ft footprint. The building is a Victorian end-terrace with period brickwork and character features visible from the exterior.
Practical advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas central heating and double glazing. The location is very convenient for local shops, bus links and everyday amenities, and council tax is very cheap — helpful for running costs. The lease has around 90 years remaining; prospective buyers should budget for standard leasehold costs and possible administration fees for lease packs.
Important drawbacks are straightforward and should be noted: the flat is small and has limited or no private outdoor space, making it best suited to single occupancy or couples. Internal photos and descriptions show mould and wall staining in the bedroom and some dated/maintenance-needing areas — these will require attention. The wider area records higher crime levels, which may affect both living comfort and rental appeal. The building’s cavity walls are noted as originally uninsulated, so consider potential energy-efficiency improvements.
This property is a clear value proposition for someone prioritising location and price over space. It suits buyers prepared to carry out light refurbishment or investors seeking a city-centre rental with straightforward tenancy potential. Obtain a survey and verify lease and service details before commitment.
