A compact top-floor one-bedroom flat in central Maida Vale offering an affordable entry into W9. The 433 sq ft layout is bright and semi-open plan, with a good-sized bathroom and straightforward room arrangement suited to a single occupant or couple. The flat would suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to update finishes.
Practical positives include a long lease of 123 years and a below-average service charge of £700, keeping running costs predictable. The location is a key strength: minutes from Maida Vale’s shops, cafés, green spaces and strong transport links, plus several highly rated nearby schools.
The property is sold as in need of modernisation. Expect dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, visible wear, peeling paint and some ventilation issues; cosmetic and minor works are likely required. Also note the local area records higher crime and greater deprivation indices than average, which may concern some buyers.
Overall this is a small, well-located flat with clear potential for value uplift through refurbishment. Buyers should factor renovation costs and local area considerations into their offer decisions.
