This well-presented two-bedroom leasehold flat offers a ready-to-move-in option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a compact, low-maintenance property. At around 555 sq ft the apartment has been kept in good condition and is sold with some never-used white goods and furniture included, reducing immediate setup costs. Allocated off-street parking and a communal garden add practical convenience.
Location is a key strength: the flat sits a short walk from Leagrave Station and provides easy access to M1 Junction 11, making commutes straightforward. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating improve comfort and energy efficiency. The lease extends to roughly 100+ years, providing long-term security for purchasers.
Buyers should be aware of some material considerations. The area scores as deprived with a higher crime rate than average; purchasers should factor local safety and community issues into their decision. Service charges average about £1,600 per year and ground rent is £150—reasonable but ongoing costs to include in the budget. The overall size is small, so the flat suits individuals, couples, or investors rather than larger families.
In summary, this apartment offers sensible transport links, practical features and low immediate maintenance, making it a convenient entry-level buy or rental investment. The compact footprint and local area factors are important trade-offs to weigh against the long lease and move-in-ready condition.
