• No ground rent; service charge approximately £1,700 per year

This newly refurbished two-bedroom apartment occupies a linear, warehouse-conversion layout and offers 62 sq m (667 sq ft) of well-planned living space. High ceilings and period sash-style windows give a bright, airy feel while recent works and a new 999-year lease remove several common ownership uncertainties. There is no ground rent and an option for a share of freehold is available.
The flat sits on a pedestrianised cobbled lane moments from London Fields, Broadway Market and Hackney Empire, with Hackney Downs and Hackney Central Overground stations within easy walking distance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working; local shops, markets and leisure amenities are on the doorstep.
Practical points for buyers: the property is marketed for cash buyers only, and the service charge is approximately £1,700 per year. There is no private outdoor garden (paved communal area only). The immediate neighbourhood records higher crime and area deprivation statistics, which some buyers will factor into resale and insurance considerations.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a central Hackney address or a buy-to-let investor wanting a city-edge location with good transport links. The flat’s recent renovation and very long lease are strong positives, but buyers should be comfortable with the urban setting and purchase terms before proceeding.
