Local area records higher crime and deprivation — factor into decision
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on the top (first) floor of a period conversion, recently refurbished and offered chain-free. The flat has its own entrance, a large open-plan reception with a contemporary fitted kitchen, and a modern shower room—ready to move into and suited to buyers wanting minimal immediate work.
Practical running costs are reasonable: low service charge (£976pa) and minimal ground rent (£10pa). The lease is long: the building’s lease began 29-01-1990 on a 125-year term, equating to about 90 years remaining. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing installed since 2002.
Location is a key strength. Portnall Road sits between Queens Park, Maida Vale and Notting Hill, with Bakerloo, Overground and Circle/Hammersmith & City lines within easy reach. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and the immediate area offers a wide range of shops, cafes and services.
Be clear about local downsides: the wider area records higher crime levels and notable deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers or affect rental desirability. The building’s walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation, so consider future insulation upgrades if energy efficiency is important.
