A two-double-bedroom duplex in a portered Finchley Road block with lift access and allocated underground parking. Set across two levels, the flat offers generous living space, three balconies and long London views — a strong shell for a modern refurbishment.
This property will be sold at online auction with a six-week completion. It requires full updating throughout and the current lease has approximately 82 years remaining — lease extension will be a priority and cost consideration for any buyer. No information on service charges or ground rent is provided here.
The building's location delivers excellent transport links (Finchley Road, Swiss Cottage), easy access to Hampstead Heath and local amenities. For an investor or buyer comfortable with renovation and a short lease, the apartment presents clear potential for capital uplift or rental income once refurbished and the lease addressed.
Important negatives are straightforward: the flat needs renovation, the lease length is short and needs renewing promptly, and the property is being sold at auction with fixed timescales. Prospective purchasers should budget for refurbishment, lease extension costs and factor the auction purchase process into their plans.
