Summary - Apartment 346, Orion Building, 90 Navigation Street B5 4AF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal for buyers seeking secure central living with parking and a long lease.
One double bedroom, one bathroom, approx 538 sq ft
Set within the Orion building on Navigation Street, this one-bedroom apartment offers straightforward city-centre living with allocated off-street parking and a long lease (103 years). The apartment measures about 538 sq ft and sits in a modern, well-maintained development built 2007–2011, with double glazing and fibre broadband (FTTP) already in place.
The layout is traditional: entrance hall, open-plan lounge with modern kitchen, double bedroom and family bathroom. Heating is electric via room heaters; there is no communal gas, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. Service charge is £3,034pa and ground rent £555pa, which are material costs for buyers to factor into affordability calculations.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, central base with parking and strong local amenities — shops, train links and eateries are all within easy reach. Note the wider area records very high crime levels; purchasers should consider security and insurance implications. The flat is offered chain-free, which can speed up a sale or move.
Practical positives include no flood risk and no known building safety restrictions. Downsides to weigh: elevated ongoing charges (service charge and ground rent), electric heating and the neighbourhood’s higher crime statistics. Viewing recommended for anyone prioritising central location and convenience over low-running-cost heating and a quieter neighbourhood.
