Set on the fifth floor of a contemporary mid-rise block, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers straightforward city-centre living for a first-time buyer. The open-plan 23ft kitchen/living/dining room opens onto a private balcony, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and built-in storage. Practical features include lift access, allocated underground parking and electric underfloor heating.
The building is share of freehold (1/16th share) and a right-to-manage company is in place, giving residents more control over management. On completion the lease will be extended to 999 years and there is no ground rent. The apartment is offered with no onward chain, which simplifies a prompt purchase.
Important practical points: service charges are estimated at £3,600 per year (2026 estimate). The property is currently tenant-occupied; photos used were taken before the current tenancy and updated images are available on request. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow and local crime statistics are high, so buyers should factor connectivity and security measures into their plans.
Transport and local life are strong selling points: Romford station (0.3 miles) provides Elizabeth Line and National Rail services for quick access into London and beyond. The town centre provides extensive shops, restaurants and green spaces, making this a convenient base for work and leisure. This is a straightforward, low-maintenance home suitable for first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience or investors wanting a centrally located let.
