Three-bedroom split-level flat with a broad living area and kitchen/diner

Garage included; potential for storage or conversion subject to permissions
88 years remaining on lease — factor lease-extension and financing costs
Located in Abbey Wood; improved commuter links after Elizabeth Line opening
Very low flood risk; excellent mobile signal but average broadband speeds
Area has higher deprivation levels; check service charges and communal upkeep
Offered for sale by online auction with a six-week completion window, this split-level three-bedroom flat is a chain-free, vacant leasehold with clear refurbishment potential. The layout links a broad living area to a sizable kitchen/diner and includes a garage — useful for storage or conversion subject to planning. The property sits in Abbey Wood (SE28), an area that has seen increased commuter interest since the Elizabeth Line opened.
The flat requires full renovation: fixtures, finishes and likely some modernisation to heating and insulation. The 88-year lease means buyers should review long-term finance and lease-extension costs. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls and unknown glazing installation dates, the building will benefit from thermal upgrades and an interior refit to realise value.
Practical positives include vacant possession for a quick turnaround, very low local flood risk, garage parking and excellent mobile signal. The neighbourhood offers green space (Lesnes Abbey Woods, Bostall Heath) and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. The property is suited to investors or hands-on buyers aiming to refurbish and either re-let or sell on completion.
Material considerations: the flat is in a deprived area historically, broadband speeds are average, and some communal or external maintenance responsibilities may apply given the building type. Buyers should inspect for damp, wiring, and heating condition, and verify service charges and council tax before bidding.
