Summary - GIBSON COURT FLAT 5 BISHOPSFIELD HARLOW CM18 6FF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bed with long lease and parking—ideal starter home or investor buy.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, chain free
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Gibson Court offers a practical, chain-free route onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental investment. The flat benefits from an exceptionally long lease (around 164 years), no ground rent and one allocated off-street parking space—features that simplify ownership costs and make resale easier.
Accommodation is modern in build (constructed c.1996–2002) with mains gas central heating, double glazing and communal access. Internally some fittings and finishes are dated (textured ceilings, older carpets) and would respond well to cosmetic updating to increase value or rental appeal. Service charge is approximately £1,224 per year.
Location brings good basic transport links, local amenities and nearby primary schools rated 'Good'. Be aware the local area profiles indicate deprivation and a 'hampered neighbourhoods' classification; crime levels are average. These factors will affect resale prospects and rental yields compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
Suitability: straightforward for first-time buyers wanting an affordable, low-maintenance starter home and for investors seeking a long-lease buy-to-let with minimal immediate major works. Buyers should inspect to assess internal condition and confirm service-charge inclusions and council tax banding.
