This well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living with an allocated parking space and communal gardens. The living room is a good size for the floor area and the kitchen and bathroom are functional, making it straightforward to occupy or let quickly.
Important lease details materially affect financeability: only 63 years remain and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. For this reason the property is most suitable for cash buyers or investors who can accept lease-extension costs or purchase for cash. Annual service charge is £1,304.81 and a peppercorn ground rent is currently shown as £0; leasehold packs and legal checks may incur additional fees.
Practical running costs are mixed: the apartment uses electric room heaters and electric main fuel, so heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives. Positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very cheap council tax and proximity to local shops, transport links and several good-rated primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should also note the wider area has above-average crime and high deprivation indicators; consider this for long-term capital growth and tenant demand. The flat is compact at about 485 sq ft, offering straightforward maintenance and lettable accommodation but limited space for growing households.
