Location is a clear strength: a three-minute walk to Temple station and within easy walking distance of King’s College and LSE campuses, supporting ongoing tenant demand from students and professionals. The flat’s compact, contemporary layout (approximately 441 sq ft) is practical for city living and specified as well maintained with built-in storage in the bedroom and bright open-plan living space.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, with an above-average service charge of £4,200 pa and a ground rent of £400 pa. The local area records very high crime and high area deprivation indices, which may affect tenant profiles, insurance costs and long-term capital growth assumptions. There is no flooding risk reported.
Overall, this apartment suits investors wanting an income-producing central London asset with immediate lets and modern finishes. Those prioritising long-term capital appreciation or low running costs should factor in ongoing service charges, local socio-economic issues and the leasehold tenure when assessing total returns.
