This compact one-bedroom flat on Brixton Hill suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-presented urban home with strong transport links. At around 434 sq ft it offers a bright reception room with space for living and dining and a semi open-plan kitchen. The block includes a lift, on-site porter and access to a communal garden.
Practical strengths include a healthy 109-year lease, double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband availability. Annual costs are straightforward but should be factored in: a service charge of £1,519 and ground rent of £125.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall size and the location’s higher crime and area deprivation metrics, which may affect resale appeal for some buyers. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should consider potential improvement or insulation work. Council tax is relatively low.
This property will appeal to buyers prioritising convenience — quick access to Brixton Tube, Overground and buses, nearby shops and amenities — who are comfortable with compact living and modest communal costs. Check all details and running costs before proceeding.
