This two-bedroom first-floor flat in South Benfleet suits buyers looking for a practical starter home or a straightforward buy-to-let. Offered with a share of freehold, a long lease (approximately 156 years remaining) and no onward chain, the property removes common tenure headaches and offers clear medium-term security.
The accommodation includes an 18'7" lounge/diner, two good-sized bedrooms and a kitchen with wall-mounted boiler. A private balcony overlooks communal gardens and the flat includes a garage plus an additional parking space — useful extras in this location. EPC rated C and mains gas heating with radiators provide reasonable running costs.
The location is a strong selling point: a short walk to local shops, schools, parks and about half a mile from Benfleet station with direct links to London Fenchurch Street. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£500pa and £20pa respectively), simplifying ongoing budgeting for a new owner or landlord.
Drawbacks to note: the overall footprint is modest at around 569 sq ft with limited private outdoor space, and the building dates from the 1980s so some cosmetic updating may be required. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average and broadband speeds are only average. These factors should be weighed against the long lease, garage and transport links when deciding whether this flat fits your needs.
