A ready-to-move, one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Shallowford Court offering practical, low-maintenance living and clear rental potential. The flat is well-proportioned (approx. 471 sq ft) with a bright living room, modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Allocated parking and well-kept communal grounds are useful conveniences for residents.
This property suits first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors and commuters. Its C EPC, electric storage heating and double glazing are typical for its 1996–2002 build. Broadband is excellent (up to ultrafast speeds available) and mobile signal is strong, supporting home working and streaming. The vendor is selling with no onward chain.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with only around 65–67 years remaining, a ground rent of £225 pa and a service charge of £880 pa. The area scores high for deprivation and crime levels, which will influence long-term capital growth and lettability. Heating is by electric storage heaters; buyers should budget for running costs and potential heating upgrades.
For investors, the advertised yield is around 9% — a clear income opportunity, though prospective landlords should check tenancy rules in the lease and factor in management, voids and local area risks. First-time buyers will appreciate the low council tax band and immediate move-in condition, but must be comfortable with a short lease and the surrounding area profile.
