This chain-free, one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers a compact, light-filled living space with its own private rear garden — a rare find for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors in Mottingham. The property is finished to a tidy, move-in condition with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and double glazing, so immediate occupation is straightforward.
Practical running costs are modest: council tax Band B, low annual service charge (£480) and a nominal ground rent (£10). Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and public transport is convenient with Mottingham and Elmstead Woods stations and frequent buses to Eltham, Bromley and Chislehurst. Local schools include several good-rated primaries and nearby independent schools, making the area suitable for young families.
Tenure is leasehold. The current lease shows 83 years remaining, though documentation states a new 125-year lease will be in place on completion—this should be confirmed and addressed promptly, as leases under 90 years can affect mortgageability and value. The property sits in a wider area classed as deprived; this may influence long-term capital growth compared with neighbouring districts.
Overall this maisonette suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance starter home with outdoor space, or an investor looking for a straightforward let. The main caveat is the lease length issue — ensure legal clarity and factor potential lease extension costs into any offer.
