This chain-free ground-floor flat is newly renovated and ready to move into, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance accommodation. The apartment is compact but well laid out, with a lounge, double bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom. New carpeting, a refitted bathroom and fresh decoration mean no immediate works are required.
The flat benefits from a designated graveled and planted section of the front communal garden plus access to rear communal grounds. There is ample internal storage and a separate storage cupboard. The property also includes garage parking and has double glazing and mains gas central heating for year-round comfort.
Practical location advantages include a short walk to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, Westwood Cross shopping and local amenities; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. The lease has 124 years remaining and council tax is very cheap, adding to affordability.
Important negatives are the small overall size (377 sq ft), a relatively high average service charge (£1,434), and the local area’s higher crime and deprivation statistics. The property sits in a hard-pressed, constrained-renters area, which may affect capital growth and lettability for some buyers. Buyers must also note the tenure is leasehold and verify all details with their solicitor.
