This sixth-floor, two-bedroom flat in SW8 delivers a straightforward investment opportunity close to Stockwell station and Vauxhall Cross. The apartment is bright with an open-plan reception and modern integrated kitchen, two equal double bedrooms with storage, and the convenience of a separate WC plus family bathroom. Lift access and a porter add rental appeal to short- or mid-term lets.
Important practical facts for buyers: the building runs a community heating scheme (mains gas) and has a high service charge of £4,800pa. The property is offered to cash buyers only and sits on a lease with 89 years remaining — both material points for financing and future resale. Construction is post-war system-built stock with assumed limited wall insulation, which may affect long-term energy performance and maintenance costs.
For investors seeking central-London yield, the flat’s 711 sq ft, clear two-double-bedroom layout and strong transport links are strengths. The local area supports rental demand from service workers and young professionals, and nearby schools and amenities broaden appeal. However, factor in the above-average service charge, the sub-90-year lease, and potential upgrade work or insulation improvements when modelling returns.
This property suits a cash investor or buyer prepared to manage lease and service-charge considerations. Its location and in-flat layout create reliable rental potential, while some building-level and energy-efficiency issues may be addressed to increase value and rental income.
