A well-presented first-floor apartment in a modern block, offered with a long 996-year lease and allocated off-street parking. The open-plan living space and fitted kitchen make efficient use of roughly 550 sq ft, ideal for single buyers or couples seeking a straightforward home or buy-to-let opportunity. The property is sold with a completed chain, so a quick move or rental setup is possible.
Transport is a clear strength: Erith station is a short walk away with links to Abbey Wood and the Elizabeth Line, improving access into central London. Local amenities include shops, eateries and regular bus services, while broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for commuting and flexible working.
Be candid about the running costs and local context: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, and there is an annual service charge of approximately £1,433.99. The wider area records higher crime levels and sits in a deprived area classification, which may concern some buyers or affect rental demand and pricing expectations.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into the area or an investor seeking a conveniently located rental with minimal immediate maintenance. Viewing is recommended to assess the living space and neighbourhood fit in person.
