Ready-to-move-in, low-cost ownership close to local schools and shops.
Chain free, easy purchase
Long lease ~176 years; peppercorn ground rent
Low service charge under £500 per year
Top-floor flat with elevated outlooks
Large double bedroom and bright lounge
Modern separate kitchen; recently redecorated
Broadband speeds reported slow
Local crime levels above average
Freshly redecorated top-floor flat in a mid-20th century block, offered chain free — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The apartment has a large double bedroom, a bright lounge and a modern separate kitchen, all arranged in a compact, easy-to-manage footprint. Secure fob entrance and elevated outlooks over mature trees give a pleasant, low-maintenance setting.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long lease (about 176 years remaining), peppercorn ground rent and a below-average service charge (under £500 pa). Recent redecoration means minimal immediate works inside, though the building is typical of its era and will have communal maintenance responsibilities.
Be clear on the compromises: internal space is average for this building type and there are no exceptional views. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and local crime levels are above average — factors worth checking against personal priorities. Overall, the flat presents a cost-effective entry onto the property ladder with good rental potential or a comfortable, low-upkeep home for one or two occupants.
