A bright, newly renovated one-bedroom first-floor flat in RM3 offering ready-to-move-in accommodation and strong commuter convenience. The living room opens onto a small balcony overlooking communal gardens, and the modern kitchen and bathroom make this an easy purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practical details support the value: a long lease of 102 years, double glazing and mains gas central heating. The flat measures about 546 sq ft and includes built-in storage in the entrance hall. Nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings and local shops and transport links are within easy reach, helping rental and resale appeal.
Buyers should note a higher-than-average service charge (£2,000 pa) and a nominal ground rent (£10). The property sits in an area classified as deprived with above-average crime figures; this affects local market perceptions and should be considered alongside price and rental forecasts. The building’s cavity walls are noted as having no insulation (assumed), so future energy-efficiency upgrades may be advisable.
Overall this is a straightforward, recently upgraded one-bedroom with strong rental/first-home potential thanks to location and a long lease. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or an investment with immediate let-ready condition will find this an attractive option, while those prioritising low running costs or a very low-crime neighbourhood should factor in the local context.
