Summary - 40 SOUTHBROOK CLOSE CANFORD HEATH POOLE BH17 8BQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, bright apartment with large loft storage and integrated appliances.
Allocated off-street parking plus plenty of guest parking nearby
Bright one-bedroom second-floor flat in Canford Heath, presented with integrated appliances and all fixtures included. The open-plan living and kitchen area makes the most of the compact 334 sq ft footprint, while a large loft provides unusually generous storage for a flat of this size. An allocated parking space and plentiful guest parking add practical convenience.
Important financial and lease points are stated up front: the current lease has 56 years remaining, but a lease extension (adding 90 years to the remainder) will be completed on completion of sale. That extension is reflected in the marketing and is said to be worth £22,000 — however until the extension paperwork is formally in place some mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend.
The block has roof, gutter and pointing works already paid for by the current owner, due to complete January 2026, which reduces near-term exterior maintenance risk. The property has a modest annual service charge (£1,907.95) and a small ground rent (£40 pa), and is chain-free — factors that support a quick, straightforward purchase for an owner-occupier or investor prepared for a small, efficient home.
Internally the flat is bright and clean but modest in size and would benefit from light cosmetic updating to maximise appeal and rental value. This is a practical, low-cost entry into Poole property ownership for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor aware of the lease-related mortgage considerations.
