This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Sauls Green offers practical city living with an unusually private garden for an urban apartment. At 505 sq ft the layout feels comfortable for a single buyer or couple, and recent double glazing and a well-presented reception room create a bright, low-maintenance living space.
Lease details are straightforward for a first purchase: a long lease of 112 years, below-average service charge (£430) and a small ground rent (£120). Good mobile signal and fast broadband suit remote working, while nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools add local convenience.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood context: the wider area is classified as deprived with a high local crime rate, and on-street parking requires a permit. The property is leasehold and service/lease information is seller-provided and unverified, so buyers should confirm details before committing.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable London entry point with outdoor space and sensible running costs, who is comfortable with an urban location and will carry out standard due diligence.
