This second-floor, two-double-bedroom flat offers a straightforward route onto the ladder with a long lease (173 years) and chain-free purchase. The 16ft lounge/diner and separate kitchen provide practical living space for a couple or small family, while built-in storage and an outside brick shed add usable capacity. Communal gardens and nearby amenities make day-to-day life convenient.
The property is in average condition and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, but the interior would repay modest updating to modernise finishes. Service charge is £2,058.76pa and ground rent £10pa—important ongoing costs to budget for. The block is ex-local authority, mid‑20th century construction, and assumed external wall insulation is not present.
Location is practical for commuters and first-time buyers: bus routes, local shops, schools and Edmonton Green station are within easy reach. Local area challenges are real—crime is above average and the neighbourhood scores high for deprivation—so buyers should visit at different times to judge suitability.
Overall, this is a sensible starter home or buy-to-let opportunity with clear potential after cosmetic investment. The long lease and low ground rent reduce common barriers to purchase, but factor the service charge and local environment into any decision.
