This second-floor, open-plan flat sits in South Hayes close to Hayes & Harlington station, local buses and primary and secondary schools. The layout maximises a compact footprint with a contemporary fitted kitchen and a separate sleeping area, making it straightforward to run and easy to let.
Practical elements are clear: the property is leasehold and has electric room heaters and an electricity main fuel supply. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, and the neighbourhood scores as deprived, which may affect resale times and tenant demand. There is a garage for private parking, a useful asset in this busy suburban location.
The building is a low-maintenance, mid-rise complex of brutalist style, and the flat is offered with no onward chain for a quicker transaction. For buyers wanting to add value, the interior presents typical scope for cosmetic updating to increase appeal and rental return. Investors will note the strong transport links and nearby regeneration potential; first-time buyers will appreciate the manageable size and proximity to schools and shops.
Purchasers should be aware of the material constraints: electric-only heating (room heaters) can mean higher running costs, and the very slow broadband may be a drawback for home workers. The leasehold tenure means buyers must check the lease length, ground rent and service charge details before committing.
