Open-plan living/kitchen; fitted oven and hob
Modern bathroom; bright wood-style flooring throughout

This compact two-bedroom apartment on Southend High Street offers straightforward rental potential in a central, transport-linked location. The open-plan living area with balcony and two double bedrooms will appeal to tenants seeking convenient seafront access and nearby shops, restaurants and stations. With 120 years remaining on the lease and a low ground rent of £60, the tenure is secure for medium-term investment.
Internally the flat is modern and well presented: fitted kitchen with oven/hob, contemporary bathroom and bright living space with French doors to a private balcony. At about 517 sq ft the apartment is small but efficiently laid out; it suits young professionals, students or couples looking for central living close to the seafront and mainline rail links.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters which can be more expensive than gas, and the area records very high crime and high deprivation—factors that can affect tenant demand and rental pricing. Service charge is stated as £0 but ground rent and council tax (Band A, very cheap) should be factored into running costs. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance buy-to-let in a high-amenity, well-connected part of Southend with immediate let-ready appeal.
