This third-floor two-bedroom flat in Cavendish Court offers a practical, modern home ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living area with a Juliet balcony brings light into the well-presented accommodation, while two double bedrooms suit sharers or a small family.
The property is sold as a 45% shared ownership (this listing) with the option to purchase 100% outright. The lease has 109 years remaining. Service charges are approximately £177.44 pcm and rent on the remaining share is £479 pcm — factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Outside there is an allocated off-street parking space and maintained communal grounds. The location is convenient for Basildon town centre, local schools (several rated Good–Outstanding) and Basildon station with direct c2c services to London Fenchurch Street.
Notable drawbacks: broadband speeds are reported as slow, and local crime levels are very high relative to national averages. Buyers should budget for regular service charges and the monthly rent element if retaining shared ownership; the flat is leasehold, so stamp duty and mortgage lenders’ shared-ownership criteria may apply.
