Contemporary, low-maintenance flat near Finsbury Park station for first-time buyers.
50% shared ownership — buyer purchases a 50% stake
This modern one-bedroom flat on Carville Street offers a practical, low-maintenance base in the heart of Finsbury Park. The open-plan living area with integrated kitchen and private balcony gives a bright, contemporary feel across an efficiently planned 523 sq ft. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (112 years), suited to first-time buyers looking for an accessible north London address.
The home is offered as shared ownership (50% share), making entry onto the market more affordable while retaining potential for future staircasing. Built c.2007–2011 with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat appears well maintained and ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate work required.
Buyers should note clear, material considerations: the property sits in a high-crime, very deprived area, and annual running costs include a service charge of approximately £1,700 and a ground rent of £250. The accommodation is compact with no private garden, so it best suits buyers prioritising location, transport links and low upkeep over large living spaces.
Nearby amenities and transport are strong selling points — Finsbury Park station, shops, cafés and green space are all within easy reach. For first-time buyers wanting a city-flat with manageable costs and the possibility to increase ownership over time, this presents a pragmatic, well-presented option. Investors should factor rental demand and local area challenges into return calculations.
