On-street parking only; residents’ permit required (LB Newham)

This recently renovated first-floor maisonette offers move-in-ready living in East Ham, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking value close to transport links. The open-plan kitchen/diner and bright reception make the most of the compact 594 sq ft layout, and a private rear garden adds outdoor space seldom found at this price point.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (approx. 144 years remaining), no service charge and no ground rent, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Local stations (East Ham and Upton Park) and nearby shops, cafés and parks make daily life convenient.
Notable limitations are the overall small size and the property’s solid-brick construction (original 1930s–1940s walls likely uninsulated), which may affect heating efficiency and future insulation work. Parking is on-street with a local residents’ permit required, and the wider area scores as more deprived than average, which some buyers may want to consider.
For a buyer prioritising a renovated, low-running-cost starter home with strong transport links and outdoor space, this maisonette presents clear value — especially given the long lease and absence of ongoing service charges. There is also scope to personalise or improve insulation and heating efficiency over time.
