Summary - Flat 8, Holmbury Court, Upper Tooting Road SW17 7PA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, well-connected flat close to shops and transport.
3 minute walk to Tooting Bec underground station
Set just a three-minute walk from Tooting Bec underground station, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in a busy south London neighbourhood. The flat has a large lounge, separate fitted kitchen and a generous bathroom — all arranged across a compact footprint ideal for straightforward living or rental occupancy. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or short-term lettings.
The building dates from the 1930s and retains period Art Deco character externally. Accommodation is modest at about 539 sq ft and is best suited to buyers who value location and transport links over expansive internal space. The property is leasehold; prospective purchasers should check lease length and service charge details early on.
There are some material points to note: the building’s timber-frame walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern standards. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, and local schools vary in performance (one nearby primary requires improvement while another is rated outstanding). These factors are reflected in pricing and present scope for energy upgrades and security improvements to add value.
For a first-time buyer seeking a commuter pied-à-terre or an investor targeting a steady rental market, this flat’s location, chain-free status and straightforward layout create clear potential. Budget for insulating and modernising works if long-term comfort and lower running costs are priorities.
