Compact, modern two-bedroom flat with long lease and balcony in E16..
Open-plan living with private balcony and plenty of natural light
This compact two-bedroom flat in Callisto Court offers modern, efficient living across c.530 sq ft in E16. The open-plan living area and private balcony maximise light and flow, paired with double glazing and contemporary finishes from a development built after 2012. The property benefits from a long lease (136 years remaining) and community heating, which can simplify running costs.
The location suits first-time buyers or investors seeking strong local rental demand: excellent mobile signal, reasonable transport links and many neighbourhood amenities including cafes, shops and charging points. Several local primary schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings, offering practical appeal for small families.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the building sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics. The flat is small at 530 sq ft and overall room count is compact. Ownership is leasehold with a service charge of about £1,775 (average) and a ground rent of £250. Heating is via a community biomass scheme, which may differ from individual boilers and could affect service arrangements.
