This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Southall offers practical living and clear rental appeal. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a modern kitchen with a central island, a reception/diner with direct access to a private rear garden and a family bathroom finished to a good standard. At about 624 sq ft, the accommodation is average in size but well-proportioned for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
Financially the property presents straightforward investment metrics: an advertised estimated rent of £1,800pcm (around a 7.2% yield) and a lease of approximately 100 years. Note the annual service charge is about £2,100 and ground rent approximately £10; these ongoing costs should be factored into running costs and mortgage affordability calculations.
The building dates from the 1980s and is of system-built construction; the block exterior shows typical wear and internal decorative updating may be beneficial. The area is well served by local shops, amenities and bus routes and local schools are well-regarded, but the wider neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices — buyers should weigh local demand and management of the communal block when considering long-term prospects.
Overall this is a practical, ready-to-live-in flat with immediate rental potential and scope to add value through modest modernisation or reconfiguration, suitable for first-time buyers seeking town-centre convenience or investors targeting yield.
