Summary - 8 Baywillow Avenue SM5 2AX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready-made buy-to-let with tenant in situ and good commuter links.
Modern 1-bed 1st-floor apartment with private balcony
A contemporary one-bedroom apartment on the first floor, offered with no onward chain and currently let — an option for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income. The flat measures about 549 sq ft, with an 18'1 living area, open-plan modern kitchen with appliances, a 13'6 double bedroom, and a private balcony. Recent double glazing and modern electric radiators help with energy efficiency; the property also has an EPC rating of B.
Practical running costs are clear: a lease with 113 years remaining, service charge approx. £775 per year and ground rent approx. £200 per year. Residents' off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and entry is via a security intercom. The building dates from the 2007–2011 period and appears well-presented with timber-frame construction and contemporary finishes.
Location is convenient for commuters — within reach of Carshalton and Hackbridge mainline stations and Tramlink — and local amenities include shops, buses, river and leisure facilities. Note the wider area is classified as a constrained neighbourhood with higher area deprivation; broadband and mobile signal are average. The flat is sold with a tenant in situ, so buyers should factor in tenancy details and notice periods into their due diligence.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance investment in a modern development: good lease length and energy performance, modest running costs, and strong commuter links, balanced against a compact footprint, resident parking limitations and local area challenges.
