A compact two-bedroom first-floor maisonette with clear buy-to-let appeal. The property offers a spacious lounge/diner, two large double bedrooms and a practical kitchen and bathroom — comfortable accommodation within 480 sq ft. A sitting tenant can be left in place, making the purchase attractive for investors seeking immediate rental income.
Practical running costs are appealing: low monthly service charge (£43.03) and minimal ground rent (£10 per year). The home has double glazing, a Valliant combination boiler and off-street communal parking, plus a small private garden and brick shed for storage. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations: the flat sits in an area with very high recorded crime and wider signs of local deprivation, which can affect rental demand and resale values. The 86-year lease remains (check solicitor advice) and the property will benefit from cosmetic updating in places — windows and fittings appear dated. Buyers should verify lease details, service charge obligations and tenancy status before exchange.
This maisonette suits investors wanting an income-producing asset or a first-time buyer prepared to improve the home. With proximity to Basildon town centre and good transport links, there is practical rental and owner-occupier demand, provided buyers factor in the neighbourhood context and refurbishment needs.
