A bright one-bedroom first-floor flat in a modern purpose-built block, offered with a 30% shared ownership share and the option to staircase to 100% after two years. The apartment provides a spacious reception room, semi open-plan kitchen, double-glazed windows and a private balcony accessible from both reception and bedroom — useful for morning coffee or extra airing space. Lift access and a practical layout make this a straightforward city home or rental.
Practical details are favourable for central-London buyers: the lease has approximately 107 years remaining, there is no onward chain and broadband/mobile connectivity is strong. The location near Finchley Road gives fast links via Jubilee and Metropolitan lines and easy walking access to local shops, restaurants and the O2 Centre.
Buyers should note the ongoing costs: a higher-than-average service charge (approx. £4,508pa) and a monthly rent payable on the unsold share (approx. £681.85pcm) until staircasing. The immediate neighbourhood has a very high crime statistic and the surrounding area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term rental profiles and resale considerations.
Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable route into a central NW3 address or investors looking for city stock with straightforward layout and good transport links. The property is average-sized internally and may benefit from minor cosmetic updating to maximise appeal and rental yield.
