Chain-free fifth-floor flat with balcony — renovation project for cash buyers in SW12.
Three bedrooms, one bathroom, approx. 834 sq ft
Set on the fifth floor of a 1950s/60s purpose-built block on Little Dimocks, this three-bedroom flat offers far-reaching city views and a private balcony. At about 834 sq ft, the apartment has generous built-in storage and a practical layout that will suit families or investors seeking central Balham access. Local transport links (Balham Underground and National Rail) and nearby green space at Tooting Common are major conveniences.
The flat is offered chain-free but for cash buyers only and is sold as needing full modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are dated, and the property currently relies on electric storage heaters. The building’s walls are system-built with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements despite double glazing installed post-2002 and a current EPC around the C band.
Tenure is leasehold; prospective purchasers should check remaining term and service charges. There is just one bathroom for three bedrooms and the property sits in a mid-rise communal block with small communal grounds and on-street parking. Crime and deprivation indicators are average for the area.
For buyers willing to invest in refurbishment, this flat represents strong potential to add value in a popular south-west London postcode close to schools, cafés and transport. Cash purchasers can move quickly to refurbish and benefit from the location and size, converting this dated flat into a comfortable family home or a rental unit in a sought-after neighbourhood.
