A chain-free one-bedroom apartment in SO17, offered with off-street parking and fast broadband — ideal for a first home or buy-to-let. The flat totals about 507 sq ft and presents a generous lounge/diner, an average double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. The block sits in a well-maintained, leafy Portswood setting with communal grounds and some flats featuring balconies.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: this is a leasehold property with about 89 years remaining, an average service charge of around £2,000 pa and a small ground rent of £120 pa. The building is modern and generally well-presented, but the interior has relatively low ceilings and some rooms are compact — view to check headroom and storage.
Location is a genuine strength for students and professionals: cosmopolitan neighbourhood amenities, frequent transport links and excellent mobile signal. Note the wider area records higher local crime rates; prospective buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall this is a straightforward, city-centre one-bed with clear running costs and refurbishment potential for modernising the interior. Its chain-free status and parking make it attractive to first-time buyers and investors prepared to accept leasehold considerations and local area factors.
