A ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Bow offering 463 sq ft of living space and a private rear garden. The property is vacant and ready for immediate occupation or rental, with good broadband and strong mobile signal suited to city living. Transport links are close by (Mile End Underground, Cambridge Heath Overground) and local schools and parks are within easy reach.
The building is a Victorian-era mid-terrace (circa 1930–49) with high ceilings and period character but basic thermal performance — walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation. The kitchen is dated and shows signs of potential damp; the heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. The EPC rating is D.
This lot will be sold at public auction and is subject to a buyers’ premium (£1,200 inc VAT) and an admin fee (£1,500 inc VAT) payable to the auctioneer. The sale is listed as a public notice/reposal; buyers should review the legal pack carefully before bidding. The long lease (new 125-year term) offers tenure security.
For a first-time buyer this flat presents an affordable entry into East London with scope to modernise and add value; for a hands-on investor it offers immediate letting potential once updated. Note the local area records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, which should be weighed in purchase decisions.
