Summary - Flat 4, 7 York Road GU1 4DR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free 1-bed flat minutes from Guildford town centre — ideal FTB or investor.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat, 528 sq ft
Nestled in the heart of Guildford, this chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat offers an accessible entry into the local property market. The lounge benefits from a bay window that brings in natural light, and the double bedroom provides comfortable sleeping space for a single occupant or couple. The open-plan flow and contemporary kitchen make day-to-day living straightforward.
Practical details suit both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: 528 sq ft, 149 years remaining on the lease and a below-average annual service charge of £600. Heating is via mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and broadband and mobile signals are strong—useful for working from home or attracting tenants.
There are some material points to note. The building is of solid brick construction (circa 1900–1929) and the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency may be needed. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect suitability for some buyers or influence rental demand and insurance costs. Tenure is leasehold, so buyers should review the lease terms.
Overall, this compact apartment is a practical, well-located option for a first-time buyer wanting town-centre convenience or an investor targeting steady rental income in Guildford. The flat is livable as-is but also presents sensible scope for modest energy and cosmetic improvements to increase comfort and value.
