Summary - Flat 92, City Gate House 399-425, Eastern Avenue IG2 6LQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, long lease apartment close to Ilford Elizabeth Line.
Twelfth-floor apartment with wide city views
Set on the twelfth floor, this one-bedroom apartment offers far-reaching city views and direct Elizabeth Line access from nearby Ilford station. Its compact 431 sq ft layout includes a living room with large window, a fitted kitchen, bedroom and a Juliet balcony — suited to buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base or a straightforward rental opportunity.
The property is chain free and comes with a long lease of approximately 106 years, an obvious plus for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Local amenities — shops, restaurants, cinema, gyms — are all within walking distance, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note predictable ongoing costs: an average annual service charge of about £3,000 and a ground rent of £250. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the apartment is relatively small, which may limit resale rent levels or require creative furnishing. No flooding risk is recorded and the area records low crime.
This home offers immediate convenience and rental appeal thanks to its location and lease length. It suits anyone prioritising transport links and local amenities over large internal space, and who is comfortable with the established service charge and electric heating arrangement.
