Chain free with 140-year lease remaining
Set in the Anerley/Penge area, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment is ready to move into and ideal for first-time buyers seeking convenience and long-term security. The flat benefits from a newly fitted bespoke kitchen, a neutral bathroom, and double glazing, making day-to-day living comfortable from day one.
Practical extras set this home apart: a private parking space plus a separate garage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a lengthy 140-year lease. Transport links are strong, helping commuters reach central London easily while local schools include several Good and Outstanding-rated options.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated E and heating is provided by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The service charge is approximately £2,000 per year and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels; the local area is classed as deprived, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall this compact apartment suits someone after a secure, low-maintenance first home or a buy-to-let opportunity with straightforward tenancy appeal. With a long lease and private parking, it offers useful flexibility — bring any cosmetic preferences to personalise the space further.
