Buyers should note the apartment is small (c.416 sq ft) and uses electric room heaters as the primary heating source, which can be more expensive than gas. The service charge (£1,124 pa) and ground rent (£115 pa) are recurrent costs; the apartment is leasehold. The immediate area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers or influence rental demand.
Overall, this home offers a balance of low entry price and practical amenities for first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept compact living and the running-cost realities of electric heating and communal service charges. Viewing is recommended to judge layout and local setting in person.
