This two-bedroom apartment on Butts Road offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Built after 2007, the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, an open-plan 17ft lounge/diner and an EPC B rating, all within a secure block with lift access.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, maintained communal gardens, and no onward chain—useful for a quick purchase. The property sits close to local amenities, bus links and Bitterne rail station, with Southampton city centre and the airport within easy reach.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with approximately 108 years remaining and combined service charge/ground rent runs around £1,911.96 per year. Broadband speeds are slower than average for streaming-heavy households, and local area indicators show higher-than-average crime and economic deprivation, which may affect resale values or tenant demand.
Nearby schools are mixed in performance; a couple of primary and secondary schools require improvement while others are rated good. Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking affordable entry into the Southampton market or landlords looking for a lettable, low-maintenance asset, provided they factor in service costs and local area considerations.
