Summary - MELVILLE COURT FLAT 49 CROFT STREET LONDON SE8 5DR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, chain-free entry near Surrey Quays for first-time buyers.
Allocated off-street parking included
This compact studio flat in a gated development offers a straightforward entry into SE8 property ownership. At around 329 sq ft the open-plan layout, large windows and modern finishes make efficient use of space, while an allocated off-street parking space is a rare plus for inner-London flats. EPC rating C and double glazing are practical features for running costs.
The flat is offered chain-free, making a quick purchase possible for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a lettable city pad. It sits moments from Surrey Quays and local amenities, with good digital connectivity and a mix of shops, cafés and transport options close by. Local schools include several Good-rated primaries and secondaries.
Buyers should note important drawbacks: the lease is short (c.82–84 years) and will need prompt extension work; service charge (£1,700 pa) and ground rent (£200 pa) apply; heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating. The local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation measures—buyers should factor local safety and resale implications into their plans. Overall, this is an affordable, well-located starter property with clear potential for someone prepared to manage lease and running-cost considerations.
