Extended lease ~134 years; ground rent reportedly zero

Needs renovation and modernisation; budget accordingly
Community heating, secondary glazing, likely poor wall insulation
Very high local crime rate; immediate area classified as deprived
This eighth-floor one-bedroom flat in the heart of Soho provides bright, compact city living with clear roofline views over Broadwick Street. The reception room is generous for the size, and the layout is efficient for a single occupant or couple. Communal areas are well maintained and there is a communal roof terrace for outside space.
The apartment requires updating; the current owner has kept it in good order but buyers should budget for renovation to modernise finishes and services. Heating is supplied by a community scheme, glazing is secondary and the building is of 1960s/70s construction with assumed limited wall insulation.
Financially, the property is leasehold with approximately 134 years remaining, no ground rent, and an annual service charge around £3,650 (£4,000 listed average) — factor these costs into affordability calculations alongside Westminster Council Tax band D. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Be frank about location trade-offs: Soho offers unmatched entertainment, dining and transport links, but the immediate area records very high crime levels and is relatively deprived. This flat suits a buyer seeking central West End living with renovation potential, or an investor targeting strong rental demand despite local area challenges.
