The property is leasehold with about 100 years remaining. Annual charges are notable: average service charge £2,270 and ground rent £225 (total annual charges reported £2,495). Heating uses electric storage heaters which can mean higher running costs compared with gas.
Important cautions are factual and material: this sale is cash-buyers only. The building sits in an area classified as deprived with a high local crime level, and nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. The apartment’s compact size and mid-2000s brutalist block setting suit buyers prioritising central location and views over period charm or garden space.
For an investor, the flat’s central location, balcony, parking and easy connectivity make it straightforward to market to students or young professionals. Budget for ongoing service charges, potentially higher energy bills from electric heating, and take the cash-buyers requirement into account before proceeding to offer.
