Available to cash buyers and offered with no onward chain, this split-level ground-floor apartment is a practical investment or refurbishment project in Hounslow (TW3). At approximately 856 sq ft the layout provides three bedrooms, a large reception room and a kitchen/diner, plus ground-floor WC and useful storage — well suited to renters, young families or a buy-to-let conversion.
Outdoor space is a genuine perk: a private front garden and a rear garden with gated access give secure external space rare for an apartment. The property sits in a convenient position for local transport links (Hounslow Central and nearby stations) and is close to several well-regarded schools, making it appealing to tenants or owner-occupiers prepared to refurbish.
Important cautions: the lease has around 70 years remaining — this is short and many mortgage lenders refuse to lend, so sale to cash buyers only is required. The building has an above-average local crime record and sits in a deprived area, factors buyers should weigh when considering rental demand and insurance. The kitchen is dated and will need modernisation to maximise value.
Financially, annual service charge is about £1,022.34 and ground rent is minimal (£10 p.a.), but lender refusal risk due to the short lease is the principal transactional drawback. For a cash buyer or investor prepared to extend the lease and update the property, this presents scope to add value in a well-connected pocket of Hounslow.
