This chain-free, first-floor one-bedroom apartment on Mullion Close offers an affordable entry into homeownership close to Sutton Village. The flat benefits from a long lease (expires 2133), communal gardens front and rear, a private external storage shed and on-site access to local amenities and good schools — useful for first-time buyers or investors wanting low upfront costs.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a naturally lit sitting room, kitchen with basic appliances, bedroom with built-in storage and a three-piece bathroom. Neutral décor and double glazing mean the property is liveable as-is, but it also presents straightforward scope for cosmetic updating to increase comfort and value. Annual running costs are modest: council tax band A, service charge about £528 and ground rent around £10.
Notable practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, so energy bills may be higher than gas-heated homes. The EPC is grade D. The local area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. The building is timber-frame from the 1980s, so buyers should satisfy themselves on construction and maintenance history.
Overall this apartment is a practical, low-cost ownership option for a first-time buyer or a small-scale investor seeking a simple property to occupy or upgrade. Its long lease and no-chain sale make it straightforward to purchase, but budget for energy costs and consider the neighbourhood profile when deciding suitability.
