Summary - Galba Court, Brentford Dock TW8 8QT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom riverside apartment for cash buyers near shops and transport.
Riverside flat with private balcony overlooking the canal
This two-bedroom riverside flat at Brentford Dock occupies a practical 66.6 sq.m (717 sq.ft.) layout with a reception room that opens to a private balcony overlooking the canal. The development offers communal benefits included in the service charge: hot water and heating, 24-hour security and maintenance of communal grounds — useful for hands-off ownership or letting.
The location is a strong selling point: waterfront position beside the Grand Union Canal and close to Brentford High Street, shops, transport links and ongoing local regeneration. The apartment has double glazing, an EPC rating of C and mains gas central heating via a community scheme, which supports efficient running costs.
Important practical drawbacks affect marketability. The lease has approximately 52 years remaining; many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on this term, so purchasers will effectively need cash or specialist lending. The service charge is relatively high (£6,198 pa) and this, together with the short lease, will reduce resale value and potential mortgageability. Ground rent is minimal but the limited lease length is the primary issue.
Suitable for a cash buyer or a buyer prepared to undertake lease extension negotiations, this flat offers immediate occupation or rental potential in a riverside setting. Buyers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice regarding the lease length and factor the above-average service charge into running costs.
