A compact one-bedroom apartment on Heathmere Drive that suits a first-time buyer or investor prepared to do light refurbishment. The flat comes with a single garage, gas central heating and double glazing, and sits on a long lease of about 147–148 years. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The interior shows obvious 1960s-era wear: peeling paint, some floor damage and a dated kitchen and bathroom. The building appears structurally standard but will benefit from cosmetic updating to unlock its full value. Service charge is a modest £96 per month, but ground rent is relatively high at £576 (buyer to confirm basis with legal pack).
This property is offered through an online auction (Buy-It-Now option available). Buyers should budget for the non-refundable Buyer’s Premium (3.6% including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600) and a legal pack fee (£396 inc VAT). The auction route gives 56 working days to exchange and complete, allowing time to arrange finance.
Location-wise the flat is close to shops, bus stops and local schools including several rated Good or Outstanding. The neighbourhood is classified as hampered/multi-ethnic hardship with above-average crime and area deprivation—buyers should factor local context into their decision. Read the legal pack and carry out due diligence before bidding.
