Compact two-bed close to Brixton Station — cash buyers only due to short lease.
Fourth-floor two-bedroom flat, bright reception room
A compact two-bedroom flat on the fourth floor of Brockwell Court, within easy walking distance of Brixton Station and local amenities. The apartment offers a bright, well-proportioned reception room, a separate kitchen and two sizable bedrooms — good-sized rooms for the overall footprint (611 sq ft).
This property is best-suited to a cash buyer or an investor. The lease has 32 years remaining, which will make most mortgage lenders decline applications; purchasers should budget for lease extension costs or be able to complete on a cash basis. Service charge (£964 pa) and ground rent (£80 pa) are modest for the block and heating runs on a community mains-gas scheme.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains solid-brick construction; the flat shows contemporary bathroom finishes and generally modern presentation in the living room. There is clear potential to add value by refurbishing or extending the lease, but any buyer must allow for the constraints and costs associated with a short lease and solid-wall property (likely limited built-in insulation).
Location is a strong practical selling point: excellent public transport, fast broadband and a wide choice of shops, cafes and green space nearby. Note the local area scores high on deprivation indices despite being an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood — amenities and schools are strong, while some buyers may want to check the immediate block and communal areas in person before committing.
