Step into a central Southsea one-bedroom apartment offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Positioned on the fourth floor of a modern block, the flat includes an allocated underground parking space and lift access to all floors, making daily life straightforward. The living room opens to a compact fitted kitchen; the double bedroom has built-in storage.
Practical running costs include an annual service charge of £2,084.66 and a small ground rent of £50. The property is leasehold with 93 years remaining — sufficient for mortgage purposes but something to monitor for future resale. Heating is via electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow.
The block sits within easy walking distance of Southsea seafront, The Common, cafes, shops and transport links, offering strong local amenity appeal. Note the area records higher crime levels and is described as a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood; this brings vibrancy but may not suit buyers seeking a quieter suburb.
Overall this apartment suits buyers wanting a centrally located, low-maintenance starter home or an investment with parking and lift access. It’s chain-free and ready for an early sale, but buyers should budget for service charges, possible heating costs and consider broadband and neighbourhood factors before committing.
