Summary - 89, Aylen Road, PORTSMOUTH PO3 5HD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom flat with private garden and low ownership costs.
985-year lease, no ground rent or service charges
A compact two-bedroom flat on Aylen Road offering rare long-lease security — 985 years — with no ground rent or service charges. The layout includes a reception room, kitchen, family bathroom and two double bedrooms, arranged across a modest 502 sq ft that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low ongoing costs. A private rear garden provides valuable outdoor space uncommon at this size.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and is semi-detached with double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Walls are cavity-built with no recorded insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for possible insulation upgrades to improve comfort and running costs. The property’s compact footprint means limited living space but straightforward maintenance and clear renovation potential.
Location is urban Copnor in Portsmouth (PO3). Local amenities and transport links are accessible, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The neighbourhood is mixed: area-wide classifications indicate blue-collar terraces and some local deprivation, and recorded crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for families or rental strategies. Nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes, from outstanding to needs improvement.
This flat presents a low-cost-entry purchase with a very long lease, private garden and no service charges, balanced by limited internal space and some local area concerns. It suits a buyer prioritising long-term tenure and low running costs, or an investor targeting straightforward lettings or a value-led refurbishment project.
