Set within Portsea Place on the Hyde Park Estate, this well-presented two-bedroom flat offers roomy living and a private balcony within walking distance of Marble Arch and Hyde Park. The generous reception, modern kitchen and lift/porter service make daily life straightforward for a rental tenant or owner-occupier. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the flat occupies a convenient central W2 location with abundant local amenities and transport links.
Important practical points: the lease is short — expiring 25/04/2032 — and the property will be sold at auction. Many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on short leases, so prospective purchasers should expect to proceed with cash, buy-to-let-ready finance, or to factor in the cost and lead time of a lease extension. Service charge is high at £6,323 per year; ground rent is £200.
This property suits buyers able to act quickly and with access to non-standard finance. It presents clear rental or resale potential given its size (approximately 842 sq ft), central Hyde Park proximity and strong local demand, but any buyer should budget for lease-related legal/valuation fees and consider the implications of higher service charges and the local crime and deprivation indicators.
