Set on Slippers Place with side-on views of Southwark Park, this two-double-bedroom flat offers immediate, chain-free possession for buyers ready to move quickly. The apartment sits in a 1960s/70s block and benefits from a private balcony, a bright reception room and a functional kitchen — a comfortable city base for young professionals or couples.
Practical points matter here: the remaining lease is about 90 years and the service charge is substantial at £4,097 per year. These factors can affect mortgage options and running costs, so purchasers should check lender criteria and long-term affordability before committing. Ground rent is low at £10 pa, but the relatively short lease term is a material consideration.
The location is a genuine asset — excellent transport links, fast broadband and close access to shops, cafes and green space. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, and residents benefit from numerous local amenities. Conversely, the local area has a higher crime rate and some social deprivation, which may influence resale expectations.
Overall this flat suits buyers who want a ready-to-occupy London property with park views and quick completion, and who accept the higher service charge and lease-length implications. It presents rental or owner-occupier potential with modest modernisation possible to increase value.
