Affordable starter flat with renovation potential near shops and transport.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, approximately 434 sq ft
This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat (approx. 434 sq ft) offers an affordable entry into Harlow with clear renovation potential. It sits within a mid-20th-century brick block and benefits from a communal garden and an external lock-up for storage. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
The flat is leasehold with about 86 years remaining; service charge is £813 (below average) and ground rent listed at £10. The area provides strong transport links and nearby schools, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a value purchase. Expect straightforward cosmetic and systems work—the property is described as needing renovation.
Buyers should note material negatives: small overall size, a very high local crime level, and the requirement for refurbishment. These factors reduce immediate comfort but also lower the entry price, creating opportunity for someone who can invest time and money to improve the flat and increase value. Council tax is inexpensive, and the block presents typical communal upkeep responsibilities.
