Bright 1‑bed near South Quay DLR with concierge and long lease.
South‑facing 6th-floor flat with balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows
This south‑facing one-bedroom flat on the 6th floor of 41 Millharbour offers bright, contemporary living with a balcony and open-plan kitchen across 612 sq ft. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the main space with light and the double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, making it a straightforward move-in option for a first-time buyer.
Residents benefit from practical on-site services: a 24-hour concierge, communal gardens and heating/hot and cold water included in the service charge. The property sits 0.3 km from South Quay DLR, providing fast connections into Canary Wharf and the City, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for working from home.
Known issues are stated plainly. The building currently holds a B2 EWS1 assessment; the developer has committed to funding required remediation to reach B1, which should support mortgageability, but buyers should confirm lending requirements with their lender. The service charge is relatively high at £5,891 per year, and crime levels in the immediate area are above average — both factors to consider when budgeting and planning.
Long lease security (977 years) and chain-free sale are strong practical advantages. For a buyer seeking a modern, well-serviced home or a lettable central London asset, this flat offers a convenient base with clear future potential, provided you accept the service charge level and note the remediation status.
