Chain-free first-floor flat with low service charge and urgent lease extension need.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor flat
Set on the first floor in Symonds Green, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact, open-plan living space ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The kitchen/living area is practical, the bathroom includes a separate shower cubicle plus a Jacuzzi-style bath, and a large storage cupboard adds useful space in an otherwise small home. The property is chain free, has a communal courtyard and off-street parking on a first-come basis.
There are genuine advantages: a low annual service charge, double glazing, gas central heating and a tucked-away location close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents straightforward maintenance expectations rather than high-spec luxury.
Important: the remaining lease is 83 years. That length is below the level many lenders and buyers prefer and will require prompt attention and likely cost to extend. Ground rent is minimal but the lease term is the primary material drawback. The overall internal area is small (about 517 sq ft), so space-conscious buyers should view with that in mind.
This flat suits someone seeking an affordable entry on to the property ladder or an investor after a chain-free, easy-to-manage rental unit. Factor in lease extension costs and limited living space when assessing value and next steps.
