Chain-free two-bed maisonette over three floors, close to seafront and shops
Cash buyers only — mortgage lenders may refuse due to short lease (64 years)
Ground rent £200pa; tenure: leasehold — legal/lease checks essential
Large reception with high ceilings; period sash windows and character features
Modern kitchen with built-in appliances; services and appliances not tested
Cavity walls likely uninsulated; double glazing install date unknown
High local crime rate and area deprivation may affect desirability
Suitable as first home or buy-to-let but needs lease and suitability review
Set over three floors in a Georgian terraced building, this two-bedroom maisonette offers a roomy layout and period character close to Southsea seafront. The property is chain free and positioned within a short walk of shops, universities, schools and local amenities — making it suitable for a first home or buy-to-let purchase.
The flat has a modern kitchen with built-in appliances and a large sash-windowed reception room with high ceilings. Practical fittings include built-in storage cupboards and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators; broadband and mobile signal are both strong in this area.
Buyers should note important constraints: this is a leasehold with about 64 years remaining, and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend — the sale is therefore aimed at cash buyers. Ground rent is £200 per year. Services, heating and appliances have not been tested and no warranties are offered. The building appears to have original cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), and the double glazing date is unknown.
The neighbourhood is a mixed student and professional area with high local crime rates and indicators of deprivation; that affects long-term appeal and lettability in some segments. For a cash buyer prepared to accept the lease length and to carry any necessary checks or improvements, the maisonette offers spacious rooms, strong location and clear landlord/investor potential.
