Extended lease until March 2120 (95 years remaining)
Garage in block and communal gardens included
Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout
Service charge £733 pa; buildings insurance £314 pa
Ground rent £50 pa; Council Tax Band A (lower running costs)
Small overall size; needs internal modernisation to add value
Located in a very deprived area with high local crime levels
A practical ground-floor two-bedroom flat offering straightforward, ready-to-live-in accommodation in a small cul-de-sac block. The layout includes a 15' lounge, breakfast kitchen with oven and hob, two double bedrooms and a shower room — suitable for a first home or rental. The property benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing, a garage in a block and communal gardens.
The lease was extended to March 2120 (95 years remaining). Annual charges include a service charge of £733, ground rent of £50 and buildings insurance currently £314. Council tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs lower than average for the area.
The flat is compact at around 563 sq ft and, while sound, would benefit from some internal modernisation to maximise comfort and potential resale or rental return. The surrounding neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with high local crime statistics; buyers should factor location when considering suitability and security measures.
Overall this is a budget-friendly entry-level home or buy-to-let opportunity with sensible running costs, immediate occupation potential and scope to add value through updating. The long lease and garage are practical advantages, but prospective purchasers should weigh the local social challenges and communal service charges before deciding.
