A brand-new, 897 sq ft two-bedroom apartment set above Uxbridge High Street, delivered in 2024 with a 10-year build guarantee and a 125-year lease. The apartment offers a large open-plan living area (around 32 ft), a fitted contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms (master with ensuite) and lift access — all designed for low-maintenance, city-centre living.
Positioned 0.1 miles from Uxbridge station and surrounded by shops, restaurants and transport links, this property suits investors targeting commuter tenants or buyers wanting immediate rental income. Share of freehold ownership and modern finishes reduce day-to-day upkeep and administrative complexity compared with typical leasehold purchases.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the development sits in an area with very high crime rates and the neighbourhood records signs of deprivation; broadband speeds in the building are very slow. Heating is by electric room heaters and the main energy supply is electricity (unspecified tariff), so running costs may be higher than gas-heated alternatives.
Overall, this flat represents a long-term rental or buy-to-let opportunity near strong transport links and local amenities. The combination of new construction warranty, central location and share of freehold are genuine positives, balanced by local socio-economic and service limitations that will affect tenant appeal and household running costs.
