Chain-free SE1 apartment with long lease and excellent transport links.
Chain-free with vacant possession and immediate occupation
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on the first floor of converted period buildings just off Lower Marsh. The open-plan living space is dual-aspect North–South, providing clear zones for cooking, dining and relaxing. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite and built-in wardrobe; the second double faces the quieter rear with a view toward the London Eye. Finished with wooden floors, stone worktops and double-glazed sash windows, the flat is ready for immediate occupation and is sold chain-free with vacant possession.
This property offers strong practical benefits for investors and professional buyers. Residents have eligibility for on-street parking permissions and there are no short-let restrictions in the lease, increasing lettability to both longer-term tenants and short-stay markets. A brand new 999-year lease and a well-managed building with estimated service charges of circa £3,500 per year (around £4.50/sq ft) provide long-term security and predictable communal maintenance.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area records very high crime levels and broader local deprivation indicators, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and council tax is above average. The building is an older solid-brick conversion (c.1930–49) with assumed wall construction and no built-in insulation; while windows are double-glazed, the property may benefit from future targeted energy improvements. Overall this is a well-specified central London apartment offering excellent transport links and rental potential, balanced by typical inner-city trade-offs that buyers should consider.
