Bright, modern first-floor flat — chain-free but lease needs urgent attention.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment with open-plan living
A bright first-floor two-bedroom apartment in a modern block, positioned close to local shops, transport links and waterside walks. The accommodation offers an open-plan living/dining room, contemporary kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes) and a bathroom with shower over bath. Secure communal entrance and one allocated off-street parking space add everyday convenience.
Practical running costs include a service charge of approximately £1,400 per year and a long lease that currently has 81 years remaining. The short-ish lease may restrict mortgage options and will need attention soon; some lenders may refuse applications until the lease is extended. There is a public notice of an offer on the property, so interested buyers should be aware of ongoing interest.
The area is urban and very deprived with above-average crime statistics; for some buyers this brings strong rental demand and affordability, while others may prioritise location considerations. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signals are good, supporting working-from-home and lettings. EPC rating is C and the building benefits from modern double glazing and gas central heating.
