This top-floor, one-bedroom flat in Portmore Close is presented fully renovated and offered chain-free — a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income. At around 517 sq ft the layout is practical: a double bedroom, bright lounge, modern fitted kitchen, shower room, utility room and boarded loft storage with a pull-down ladder.
Strengths include modern fixtures and integrated appliances, recent full refurbishment, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and proximity to Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre, bus routes and the A46 for commuter links. Annual costs are modest: service charge £834 and ground rent £10. Council tax is in the cheapest band A.
Important considerations are factual: the flat is leasehold and in a very deprived area with recorded high local crime — these factors affect resale and rental perception. The building is a mid-20th-century concrete block; while the flat is modern inside, communal areas and external fabric may be older and typical of the era. The size is average for a one-bedroom top-floor flat, and access is by stairs only.
Overall this is a turnkey, low-running-cost flat that suits someone prioritising a ready-to-move-in property or a buy-to-let with immediate availability, provided they accept the location’s broader social and security challenges.
