Summary - Umberston Street, Aldgate, LONDON, E1 E1 1FS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, move-in ready apartment with balcony and quick access to transport.
Newly renovated two-bedroom third-floor flat, about 622 sq ft
This newly renovated two-bedroom third-floor flat offers a bright, open-plan living space and private balcony in central Aldgate. The modern integrated kitchen and stylish bathroom make the apartment move-in ready, with wood flooring and double glazing throughout. At about 622 sq ft, the layout is practical for first-time buyers seeking contemporary city living within easy reach of Commercial Street and Aldgate East station.
The building is secure, has a lift, and the 119-year lease provides long-term tenure security. Monthly running costs include a service charge of around £1,302 and a small ground rent of £250 per year — important to factor into affordability calculations. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
The location puts a wide range of shops, cafés and transport links on the doorstep, and mobile signal is excellent. However, the immediate area is classified as inner-city and suffers from higher-than-average crime and deprivation indicators; buyers should consider personal security and lifestyle fit before committing. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall this property suits a buyer wanting a low-maintenance, modern starter home or a city pied-à-terre with strong transport connections. The flat is presented in excellent condition, but the electric heating and notable service charges are material considerations for running costs and long-term budgeting.
