Ready-to-move-in apartment with private parking and long lease for first-time buyers.
No onward chain — available for quick completion
Fully modernised interior; double glazing and EPC B
Compact living: approximately 387 sq ft (one bedroom)
155 years remaining on the lease — long-term security
Service charge ~£1,800pa; ground rent £120pa
Area has high crime rates and very high deprivation (affects resale/letting)
This newly renovated one-bedroom second-floor apartment offers a compact, move-in-ready home or a straightforward rental opportunity. The open-plan lounge/kitchen feels bright and benefits from a Juliet balcony at the rear, adding privacy and reducing road noise. The property has double glazing, a Worcester Bosch boiler installed in 2020 (last serviced March 2025) and an EPC rating of B, supporting efficient running costs.
Practical long-term ownership is supported by a long lease (155 years on completion), residents' off-street parking and a secure intercom entry. Service charges average £1,800 per year and ground rent is £120 per year; these cover building insurance and communal upkeep. The flat is offered with no onward chain, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer wanting a quick move.
Location suits commuters and those needing local amenities: Chatham’s High-Speed rail links are accessible by car, and local shops, a surgery and green space are within short distance. Estimated rental income is about £800–£900 pcm for investors.
Important negatives are factual: the flat is small at around 387 sq ft, the surrounding area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and tenant demand. Prospective buyers should factor in the service charge and communal nature of the block when assessing value.
