Very long lease (992 years) — low lease-related risk

This well-presented one-bedroom apartment (51.8 sq m / 558 sq ft) on the first floor of One St John’s Wood offers a high-spec, low-maintenance central London home or rental. Interiors are contemporary with hardwood floors, underfloor heating, comfort cooling and a natural stone bathroom. The open-plan reception and private balcony maximise light and create efficient living for a single occupant or couple.
The development delivers extensive resident facilities — 20m pool, Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, gym, cinema room, communal roof terrace and 24-hour concierge — strengthening its appeal to short-let or corporate tenants seeking hotel-style amenities. Transport is excellent: St John’s Wood (Jubilee) station is 0.3 miles away, giving fast links to Bond Street and Canary Wharf.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with a very long lease (992 years) and a ground rent of £500 (average). Council tax is above average and the recorded local crime level is high — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and tenants. Outdoor space is limited to the balcony; there is no private garden.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a turn-key pied-à-terre or an assured rental let in a very affluent, amenity-rich pocket of NW8. The combination of modern construction (2022), communal facilities and proximity to central transport hubs underpins future demand, while service costs and local crime context should be weighed when calculating net yields or ownership costs.
