A ground-floor one-bedroom flat offered for sale by public auction, currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy producing £15,000 per year. The long lease (approximately 967 years remaining) and current income make this an immediately cash-generative purchase for investors. The property sits in a modern brick apartment block with communal gardens and nearby transport links, including Golders Green tube and Brent Cross West rail.
The flat is presented as average-sized (c. 467 sq ft) with a reception room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It benefits from double glazing, gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and an EPC rating of C. Proximity to the Brent Cross Town regeneration area could support future capital growth, while local amenities and open spaces such as Golders Hill Park and Hampstead Heath are within reach.
Buyers should note material specifics: the sale is by public auction with a guide price of £180,000+, a buyer’s premium of 1.2% + VAT, and an additional admin fee of £1,500 inc VAT payable to the auctioneers. The property has not been internally inspected by the auctioneer and all information is vendor-supplied. The wider area has above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, factors that may affect rental demand and valuation.
This lot suits investors seeking an income-producing London flat with long lease security and nearby regeneration upside. First-time buyers or owner-occupiers should consider the auction route, current tenancy, and local area indicators before bidding.
