No onward chain — quick sale potential

Urban location; average crime and area deprivation
A practical two-bedroom, split-level first-floor maisonette offering compact, modern living close to Fratton amenities. The open-plan kitchen/living room and dual-aspect windows give a bright feel, while the upstairs second bedroom provides flexible space for a home office, guest room or storage. Double glazing and electric central heating are already installed.
This property is offered with no onward chain and a remaining lease of 96 years, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The quoted service charge (£1,539.75 pa) and ground rent (£200 pa) are notable running costs to factor into affordability and rental calculations. At around 557 sq ft, the layout is compact — best suited to a single occupant, couple or investor targeting strong local rental demand.
Location is a practical asset: walking distance to local shops, transport links and schools. The surrounding area has good mobile and broadband coverage, but sits within a more deprived ward and records average local crime — typical of inner-city neighbourhoods. There is no private rear garden and on-street parking only, which limits outdoor space and car convenience.
Overall this is a sensible, well-presented starter home or rental purchase with minimal immediate decoration needed. Buyers should check lease details, service charge history and running costs during conveyancing, and factor potential higher electricity costs from electric heating into their budgets.
