Local area: high crime and very deprived — consider risk
This newly built two-bedroom apartment offers a low-maintenance, contemporary home suited to first-time buyers seeking reliable specification and easy commuting. The layout provides lateral living with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private rear-facing balcony that overlooks the communal greenspace. Built to a modern standard, the fitted kitchen includes Bosch and Neff appliances and the building benefits from lift access, gated entry and a 10-year new-build warranty.
Practical running costs are straightforward: an EPC B rating, mains gas heating and a service charge of around £1,300pa. The 999-year lease removes common long-lease concerns. Parking is available but sold separately at an additional cost, so factor that into the budget.
Location brings strong transport connections into Central London via nearby stations and good mobile/broadband provision. However, the local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived; buyers should weigh resale and rental expectations against local market conditions. The flat’s size (657 sqft) is average for a two-bedroom, offering comfortable living but not large-family space.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers who prioritise modern finish, warranty protection and low upkeep, or investors seeking contemporary stock with solid specification. The main drawbacks are the neighbourhood’s social and safety challenges and the extra cost for parking, which are important when considering long-term value.
