This vacant, chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat in N9 offers a straightforward entry into London property ownership or a compact buy-to-let. The flat is tidy and modern-feeling with UPVC double glazing, laminate floors and a bright living room. Communal garden and off-street parking add outdoor space and practical convenience rarely found at this price.
Transport and local services are strong selling points: the property has easy access to the A10 and A406 North Circular, and nearby Bush Hill Park and Edmonton Green rail stations for commuters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working or a steady tenant demand.
Buyers should note the material facts: this is a small 344 sq ft leasehold flat with approximately 92 years remaining on the lease. Annual service charge is about £1,392 and ground rent is £150 per year. Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, which can raise running costs, and the wider area scores as deprived with an average local crime level — important for both owner-occupiers and investors to consider.
For first-time buyers, the low council tax (Band B) and chain-free status simplify moving in. For investors, the compact layout and good transport links make it straightforward to let, but factor in service charges, ground rent and potential future lease extension costs when modelling returns. The flat suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, well-located starter home or a practical rental unit.
