This compact two-bedroom apartment on the first floor suits a first-time buyer or commuter seeking straightforward, low-maintenance living. The layout includes a double and single bedroom, fitted kitchen open to the lounge and a Juliet balcony overlooking the communal lawn — easy to lock up and leave on weekdays.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, gas central heating and an EPC B rating. Laindon mainline station is a short walk away, offering fast C2C services into London, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the home is small (about 603 sq ft), and the wider neighbourhood scores as very deprived with higher-than-average local crime. Ongoing costs include a service charge of approximately £1,400pa and ground rent of £150pa. The lease has around 104 years remaining — ample for mortgage purposes but noteworthy for long-term planning.
For buyers prioritising commuting convenience and a modern, ready-to-live-in flat, this is a sensible, affordable option. Investors should factor in the service charge, local demand influences and area challenges when calculating rental yield or resale timing.
