First-floor waterside flat with parking and long lease, ready for refurbishment.
Long lease—972 years remaining
Set opposite Weymouth’s inner harbour, this first-floor, chain-free apartment delivers immediate seaside appeal with genuine long-lease security. The open-plan living space with a Juliette balcony frames marina views, while an allocated parking space in a gated courtyard is a practical rarity so close to the town centre and seafront.
The layout provides two bedrooms, the principal with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, plus a contemporary main bathroom. Lift access and well-kept communal areas add convenience. The property is sold as a blank canvas — it needs renovation, so buyers can modernise finishes and put their own stamp on the kitchen and bathrooms.
Practical points to note: the lease has 972 years remaining and the service charge is approximately £915 paid every six months. Holiday lettings and pets are not permitted; a peppercorn ground rent may be chargeable if requested. Heating is via electric storage heaters and double glazing predates 2002, so upgrading heating and windows could be considered during refurbishment.
Location strengths are strong: about 200 yards from the town centre, immediate access to the harbour and beach, plus plentiful local amenities. Buyers should also acknowledge local challenges — the area records very high crime levels and is in a very deprived ward, and broadband speeds are average. For a first-time buyer or investor willing to refurbish, this property offers a rare waterside position and long lease at a modest price point.
