The property is a compact, well-specified home at about 592 sq ft, suitable for a single buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor targeting the nearby university and commuter demand.
Be aware of running costs and the local context: an average service charge of £1,047.08 and a factor fee of £261.77 per quarter (including insurance) apply. The building sits within a cosmopolitan, student neighbourhood which brings evening activity and seasonal noise levels; the wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect resale dynamics and local amenity perception.
This flat’s strengths are design, location and convenience; its trade-offs are communal fees and the busy, student-oriented neighbourhood. It will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance city living or investors wanting strong rental demand close to the university.
