Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, so buyers should account for running costs accordingly. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations: the lease has about 61 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and reduce buyer demand; lenders could refuse to lend. Ground rent is £250. The property is in an area with very high recorded crime levels — purchasers should factor local safety and security measures into their plans. The flat is of average size and some areas show dated decor and will benefit from modernization.
Overall this is a compact, well-located retirement flat offering immediate occupation and communal outdoor space. It suits a cash buyer, a landlord who understands lease-length implications, or a retiree seeking town-centre convenience and modest communal facilities.
