Convenient for Luton Airport and Parkway station, quick commute
Compact one-bedroom layout, easy to maintain for renters

Service charge approx. £1,400pa; ground rent £150pa
Local area: very high crime and very deprived — may affect value
This chain-free one-bedroom flat sits on Strathmore Avenue with its own private entrance and residents’ parking. The layout is compact and practical, with a comfortable reception room, a double bedroom and a bathroom — easy to maintain for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking low-management rental stock.
The development is well kept and positioned for commuters: Luton Airport and Luton Parkway station are both close by, and the town centre’s shops and amenities are within walking distance. Serviceability is strong locally with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, supporting home working or streaming tenants.
Be candid about the local context: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long‑term capital growth and tenant demand. The property is leasehold with 96 years remaining, average service charges around £1,400 a year and a small ground rent of £150.
Overall this is a practical, low-hassle purchase for someone prioritising travel links and immediate affordability. It works well as a starter home or an entry-level buy-to-let, provided buyers factor in the community challenges and ongoing leasehold costs.
