Chain-free one-bedroom flat with balcony and easy access to New Southgate station ideal for commuters.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment with long lease (226 years)
This chain-free, one-bedroom apartment in Montmorency House offers a spacious, well-maintained open-plan living area and a glass-enclosed balcony with views of Alexandra Palace. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living space with light; the layout works well for singles or couples seeking an urban base with easy commuting.
The building includes a communal terrace and is a short walk to New Southgate station, local shops and cafés. The property benefits from a long lease (226 years) and modern fixtures, including an integrated kitchen, central heating with boiler and radiators, and double-glazed windows throughout.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of £2,100 and a ground rent of £300. The local area has high recorded crime levels and significant deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale or rental yields. Council tax is described as affordable, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Overall, the apartment suits a first-time buyer or commuter wanting ready-to-move-in accommodation close to transport links, with clear renovation potential to increase value. The combination of long lease, station proximity and the balcony views are genuine strengths, balanced by service costs and local area challenges.
