Chain-free two-bed with battery storage, parking and full leisure facilities.
Chain-free second-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx. 915 sq ft
A spacious, chain-free two-bedroom apartment set on the second floor of Rio House at Century Wharf. The 915 sq ft layout includes a large living room, fitted kitchen, master bedroom with ensuite and a second double bedroom — practical proportions for professional tenants or an investor seeking strong rental appeal. An EWS1 form is in place and the apartment carries an EPC B.
Practical running costs are reduced by the apartment’s battery storage system, which supplies cheaper electricity, and there is an allocated undercroft parking space plus visitor parking. Residents also benefit from gated-site security, 24-hour concierge and on-site leisure facilities including a pool, gym, sauna and spa — features that support higher rental or re-sale desirability in this waterside development.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property (approximately 975 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £2,726.89 (covers water, insurance, concierge, leisure, maintenance and a reserve fund) and a modest ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters; the property uses electricity as its main fuel. Council tax is described as expensive and the immediate area is recorded as having very high deprivation, which may influence resale or tenant mix.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, well-presented apartment that suits investors or professionals seeking a city-waterside base with strong on-site amenities. The long lease and EWS1 form clear important legal points; balance the higher service charge and electric heating against the energy-saving battery system and the convenience of allocated parking and leisure facilities.
