Set within a modern mid-rise development, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen flow onto a large balcony, providing natural light and an outdoor spot for entertaining. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (approx. 242 years), making it suitable for buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home or a lettable investment.
Practical running costs and features include a concierge, lift access and a community heating scheme. The building is well placed for Ilford mainline station, town centre shops, eateries and local amenities — ideal for commuters and professionals who value convenience.
Be aware of notable running costs and local service factors: the service charge is relatively high at about £4,064 per year and ground rent is currently £512 per year (vendor is liaising on a formal lease extension which aims to reduce ground rent). Broadband is recorded as very slow in this area. The neighbourhood is described as a multicultural, young community in a deprived area with average crime levels; that context may affect resale or rental demand depending on buyer priorities.
Overall this is a well-presented, average-sized city apartment that will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors who prioritise transport links and a long lease, and who accept higher communal costs and limited broadband speeds.
