2-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with private garden and off-street parking
Compact 651 sq ft living space, practical two-bedroom layout
78-year lease — many lenders likely to refuse mortgage lending
Requires renovation/modernisation in parts; mid-20th-century fabric
Gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown)
Above-average local crime rate may affect insurance and tenancy demand
Low council tax and modest ground rent (£75/year)
Good public transport links and nearby highly rated secondary schools
A ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offering 651 sq ft with direct garden access and off-street parking — practical and straightforward for an investor or cash buyer. The layout includes a living room with mid-century features, a spacious kitchen and a single bathroom. Built between 1950–1966, the property has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Key selling points are the private garden, off-street parking and strong transport links from Wembley (easy commuting). Local schools include several highly rated secondaries, which supports long-term tenant demand. Council tax is low and ground rent is modest at £75 per year.
Important drawbacks are material: the lease has 78 years remaining — a level at which many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend, so buyers should expect cash purchase or specialist lending, and lease-extension costs. The building appears to need renovation in places (external and internal), and the area records above-average crime, which may affect tenant demand and insurance costs.
This property suits a buyer seeking a value-add opportunity: refurbish to improve rental yield or extend the lease for resale. Factor in renovation budgets, possible cavity wall insulation work, and the additional legal and premium costs of a lease extension when calculating returns.
