The property is set in a modern purpose-built block and benefits from an open-plan living space, double glazing and mains gas central heating. With 106 years remaining on the lease, ownership is attractive to buy-to-let investors or first-time buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance base close to transport links.

Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical features for students and working professionals. Local amenities, shops, cafes and Luton Station are within easy walking distance, enhancing rental and convenience appeal.
Buyers should note the building shows external wear and would benefit from façade and communal maintenance; the property is described as a fixer-upper externally. There is an approximate service charge of £1,000pa and a ground rent of £250pa. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area with higher deprivation metrics — important for owner-occupiers to consider alongside the strong tenant demand.
Overall, this flat is a pragmatic purchase: long lease, central location and transport links are clear strengths, while external maintenance and the surrounding area profile are realistic trade-offs. It suits investors and buyers seeking a compact, well-connected property with refurbishment potential.
