This compact ground-floor flat on Elm Street offers a low-cost entry into HU5 with surprisingly practical features for the price. Two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a living room sit within 517 sqft, and the property comes with its own off-street parking and access to a large paved communal rear garden.
The flat is leasehold with 119 years remaining and a modest service charge of £432, and council tax is very cheap—factors that help reduce ongoing costs. Internally the property is modern in style, with double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should be clear about the neighbourhood trade-offs: the area is classified as very deprived with high local crime rates and a transitional, cosmopolitan student/Eastern European population. The flat’s small overall size will suit first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or downsizers who prioritise location and low holding costs over space.
A straightforward purchase for a buyer looking to personalise or rent out quickly, but sensible buyers should budget for any minor updates and commission their own checks—services and appliances have not been tested and additional leasehold fees may apply.
