Chain-free one-bed close to Richmond Station, Green and riverside — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free and vacant; ready for immediate occupation or letting
This bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a contemporary mid-terrace block moments from Richmond Green, the river and Richmond Station — a highly convenient central spot for commuters and city life. The open-plan living/kitchen offers a modern feel with hardwood floors and recessed lighting; the bedroom includes built-in storage and the development benefits from a private residents’ courtyard and secure bike storage. The apartment is vacant and being sold chain free, so it’s ready for immediate occupation or letting.
Practical running costs are clear: the lease has an exceptionally long term remaining (988 years) and there is allocated garage parking. Service charges average £1,918 per year and council tax is moderate — useful figures for budgeting whether buying to live or to let. Broadband provision in the area is reported as very slow, which may matter for home workers; mobile signal is excellent.
Notable concerns are straightforward: the location records very high crime levels, so buyers should check local safety measures and consider security needs. The property is an average-sized one-bed at 474 sq ft, so it suits single professionals, couples or investors seeking a compact central flat rather than buyers needing larger family space.
Overall this is a convenient, low-hassle purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who values location, immediate availability and long lease security. It offers a modern, low-maintenance base close to transport links and riverside amenities, but buyers should factor in service charges, limited internal square footage and local crime statistics when deciding to view.
