Summary - Hatch Building, Berkshire Road, London, E9 E9 5TU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact 1-bed with balcony and rooftop access near Overground.
South-east facing private balcony with good natural light
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a modern development in Hackney Wick. The open-plan living area opens onto a south-east facing balcony and residents also benefit from a communal rooftop garden with city views. The property measures about 460 sq ft and is practical for first-time buyers seeking a central, low-maintenance home or a buy-to-let in an active rental market.
Practical strengths include a long lease (244 years remaining), an EPC rating of Band B (82), lift access to all floors and fast broadband/mobile signal. The building uses a community heating scheme and the apartment appears finished to a contemporary standard with large windows that maximise light.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the location records very high crime levels and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect desirability and resale. There is no private garden and outdoor amenity is communal roof/terrace only. The property is leasehold with ground rent around £350 (average) and council tax described as cheap; prospective purchasers should verify service charges and all running costs.
Overall this is a convenient, low-upkeep inner-city flat that suits a first-time buyer wanting good transport links and a contemporary urban base, or an investor targeting strong local rental demand. Carrying out neighbourhood checks and confirming ongoing service and communal costs is recommended before committing.
