This two-bedroom flat on Eldred Road offers a practical, modern home close to Barking town centre and station — a strong option for first‑time buyers seeking commuter convenience. The open-plan living area with a contemporary fitted kitchen and balcony gives useful day-to-day living space and brings natural light into the apartment.
Accommodation includes a double bedroom with en suite, a second single bedroom and a separate bathroom, arranged over an average-sized 668 sq ft layout built 2007–2011. The property is double-glazed, heated by a mains‑gas boiler and radiators, and sits on a long lease with modest ongoing costs (service charge £800 pa; ground rent £100 pa).
Important practical notes: the lease has not yet been registered at Land Registry and the seller says a draft lease will be finalised on completion. Prospective buyers should confirm lease length and legal implications before committing. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is classed as deprived, which may affect future resale values.
This flat works well for a buyer who wants a ready-to-live-in, low‑maintenance home near transport and local amenities, but it requires due diligence on lease registration and local market considerations before purchase.
