This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Daimler Drive offers an affordable entry onto the ladder with 50% shared ownership. The open-plan kitchen/living area opens onto a Juliet balcony, while the main bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a second Juliet balcony. Residents also have access to a communal roof terrace and off-street parking — useful extras for apartment living.
The development sits close to junction 11a of the M1, Leighton Buzzard and Luton stations, and local bus routes including the dedicated busway to Luton airport, making it an excellent commuter location. The block has secure entry and modern build features from the mid-2000s, including double glazing and gas-fired central heating.
Important practical points: the lease has approximately 84 years remaining and will need renewing in time; this is a material issue for mortgageability and future resale. Annual service charge and ground rent are around £2,232 each, which is comparatively high and should be factored into ongoing running costs. The apartment’s overall size is modest (about 569 sq ft), so it suits buyers seeking compact, well-located accommodation rather than large family space.
Chain-free sale and a modern internal finish make this a straightforward move for a first-time buyer who prioritises commuter convenience and low upfront cost. An internal viewing is recommended to gauge space and to discuss lease-extension options and the long-term service charge profile.
