Be aware of a relatively high annual service charge (circa £2,350) and a very low nominal ground rent of £1.

The flat is well located for commuting, being a short walk to the high speed station and Rochester High Street, with plentiful local amenities nearby.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a modern, low-maintenance city-base close to transport links, provided they factor in service charges and local area challenges.
