This one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a practical, move-in-ready home or a straightforward buy-to-let in Hatfield. The lounge/diner and double bedroom provide a comfortable living space across approximately 485 sq ft, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for working from home or streaming.
Practical running costs are attractive: low annual ground rent (£10), below-average service charge (£515 pa) and cheap council tax (Band B). The property sits close to local shops, bus routes and has easy road access to the A1(M), A414 and M25 — convenient for commuters.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold flat with 120 years remaining and sits in an area classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime. The building and some interior elements show typical mid-20th-century construction and will need routine maintenance over time; the living room carpet in the photo appears in need of attention.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into homeownership or an investor seeking a tenancy-ready unit with low holding costs. Independent checks are recommended on condition and neighbourhood suitability before purchase.
