This compact one-bedroom flat on Broom Road suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a low-entry purchase. The open-plan lounge/kitchen makes efficient use of 335 sq ft and the property comes chain-free with allocated off-street parking — a practical bonus in town. A boiler installed about a year ago and an EPC rating of C (72) help keep running costs down; council tax band A is very cheap.
Buyers should be aware of material lease and local issues. The lease has approximately 83 years remaining, which is short and will likely require prompt extension or careful mortgage and valuation checks. Ground rent is £250 per year; the current service charge figure was not provided and should be confirmed before committing.
The wider area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels than average. That makes the flat better suited to budget-focused buyers or buy-to-let purchasers who understand local market conditions and tenant demand. The building dates from the 1980s and the apartment’s straightforward layout means minimal immediate works are needed, although future redecoration or minor updates could increase appeal and rental value.
This property offers clear value for an affordable entry into Sittingbourne: low purchase price, recent boiler, allocated parking and reasonable energy efficiency. However, factor in the short lease, incomplete service-charge information and local area constraints when assessing long-term suitability or resale prospects.
