Chain-free top-floor flat ideal for first-time buyers
This chain-free top-floor flat offers a practical, modern start for first-time buyers. The open-plan lounge and kitchen create a bright, low-maintenance living space with patio doors to a balcony overlooking the park.
The property has two double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, plus a modern main bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and visitor spaces remove daily parking stress, and an EPC B rating helps keep running costs down.
Practical considerations: the apartment is leasehold with 115 years remaining, a ground rent of £500 p.a., service charge of £800 p.a., and small estate charges of £145 p.a. The wider area is classified as more deprived, although local crime is very low and Ockendon station is 0.6 miles away for easy commuting.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-specified two-bedroom flat for buyers seeking a low-hassle home near transport links. The figures on charges and tenure are straightforward and should be checked early in the buying process.
