Lease approx. 102 years remaining
Service charge £1,226 (average); ground rent £300 (average)

This bright one-bedroom maisonette occupies generous lateral space within a c.1900–1929 end‑terrace in Tooting, a short walk from Tooting Broadway Tube Station and local amenities. The reception room feels airy and well-lit, and the separate kitchen is larger than typical for a one‑bed flat, giving practical everyday space for cooking and dining.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: the lease has about 102 years remaining, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators is installed, and double glazing is already in place. Local conveniences are strong — cafes, pubs, shops and excellent schools are nearby, and green space such as Tooting Bec Common is within easy reach.
There are running costs and updating considerations to factor into the purchase. Annual charges are noted (service charge £1,226; ground rent £300) and the building’s solid brick walls were constructed without modern cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for any energy-efficiency improvements. Double glazing predates 2002 and may not meet current thermal standards.
Overall this maisonette offers a roomy, well‑located entry into Tooting’s market with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance. It will suit a first‑time buyer prioritising transport links, local facilities and a larger one‑bed footprint, provided they account for ongoing charges and possible modernisation work.
