Summary - 133a, Richmond Avenue, Shoeburyness SS3 9LF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease and low running costs in a popular commuter location.
One-bedroom first-floor flat with bay-front lounge
A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat in sought-after Shoeburyness, offered with a very long lease and low running costs. The property features a bright bay-front lounge, a double bedroom with neutral decor, a fitted kitchen with oven and hob, and a modern bathroom with shower over bath. Its 527 sq ft layout is compact but practical for rental or single-occupier use.
For investors, the flat’s location is the main draw: roughly a 20-minute walk to Shoeburyness Station and under 20 minutes to Shoebury High Street’s shops, pubs and restaurants. The area classifies as highly qualified professionals locally, with low crime and fast broadband — factors that support steady rental demand. Immediate rental income is achievable given the ready-to-let condition and straightforward layout.
Lease details are favourable: 959 years remaining, ground rent £50 per year and no service charge stated. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls, which may benefit from added insulation if improved energy performance is desired.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat and not suitable for those needing a large property; internal space is average for the size. There are no indicated flooding risks, council tax costs are very low, and the local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which supports tenant appeal. Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance investment in a popular commuter location.
