Commuter-friendly flat minutes from Chadwell Heath Elizabeth Line.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, long lease (168 years)
A top-floor two-bedroom apartment offered with a long lease (168 years) and no onward chain. The flat sits in a purpose-built block close to Chadwell Heath station, giving quick access to the Elizabeth Line for commuter travel. The layout includes a combined lounge/diner with windows to two aspects, a fitted kitchen with larder, bathroom and loft access for extra storage.
The accommodation is compact and presented in standard condition; fixtures and fittings are basic and the apartment would benefit from some modernisation to maximise comfort and rental or resale value. Heating and hot water are electric (storage heaters), which can be more costly than gas alternatives and may influence running costs. Service charge is approximately £1,700 per year and ground rent is nominal at £10.
Practical positives include double glazing, communal parking immediately outside, and easy walking distance to local shops and transport. There is no private garden and the flat is on the second (top) floor, so access is via stairs only. The area is urban with average broadband speeds, excellent mobile signal and higher-than-average local crime levels — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
At the guide price of £250,000 this property will suit first-time buyers seeking a commuter base or buy-to-let investors targeting steady rental demand, provided they budget for potential updating and running costs.
