Chain-free one-bed, walking distance to Pitsea station and town centre.
Chain-free top-floor one-bedroom apartment
This chain-free one-bedroom top-floor apartment offers a practical starter home or buy-to-let opportunity in SS16, within walking distance of Pitsea town centre and the railway station. The living room is a comfortable size and the bedroom includes fitted wardrobes that save floor space. Electric storage heating and double glazing are in place; the property was built in the early 1990s and presents average overall dimensions across 620 sq ft.
There is abundant communal off-street parking directly adjacent to the block and straightforward vehicle access to the A13 for drivers. The 123-year lease and modest ground rent are positive leasehold attributes, but the annual service charge of around £1,700 should be factored into running costs. Council Tax Band A keeps local charges low.
Buyers should be aware of area context: the neighbourhood is relatively deprived and local crime levels are very high, which may affect suitability for some purchasers or rental demand. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the apartment will suit someone seeking a reasonably priced, low-footprint home or an investor prepared to manage location-related challenges.
