This third-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Loughton offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity in a commuter-friendly location. The accommodation includes a bright living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom within a compact 421 sq ft footprint. With 147 years on the lease and no onward chain, it is ready for a quick purchase.
Practical running costs are clear: an annual service charge of around £825 and ground rent of £120. Heating is electric via room heaters, so buyers should expect higher running costs than gas-heated homes and consider upgrading heating if desired. The living room shows mid-century style and will benefit from modernising to maximise rental or resale value.
Positioned close to shops, buses and Central Line stations, the flat suits first-time buyers needing commuter links or investors seeking a low-management let. Nearby Epping Forest and well-rated local schools add lifestyle appeal. The block is a small, 1980s brick development with communal grounds and resident parking.
Notable positives are the long lease, chain-free sale and excellent mobile signal. Material considerations: compact internal size, low ceilings in parts, electric heating, and the property will benefit from cosmetic updating to reach its full market potential.
