Modern seventh-floor two-bedroom with balcony and private roof terrace, steps from Finsbury Park station.
Two bedrooms, one bathroom; 665 sq ft total
Bright seventh-floor two-bedroom apartment in the City North East Tower, a contemporary new-build development moments from Finsbury Park station. The 665 sq ft layout includes an open-plan living/dining area, comfort cooling, underfloor heating, and a 67 sq ft balcony plus access to a private roof terrace and landscaped Pavilion garden — appealing to commuters and young professionals seeking low-maintenance urban living.
Practical strengths include a long lease (c.993 years), 24-hour concierge, secure communal amenities, and excellent transport links (two-minute walk to Finsbury Park). The apartment’s modern finishes and integrated kitchen suit someone wanting a move-in-ready home with rental or resale potential in a high-demand location.
Buyers should note material running costs: an above-average service charge (£4,130) and a comparatively high ground rent (£550). The local area scores as inner-city cosmopolitan with very high recorded crime and pockets of deprivation; those factors may affect long-term appeal for some buyers and should be weighed against the convenience of central transport and local amenities.
This property works well for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a modern, well-specified flat close to central London. It offers convenience and communal benefits but carries higher ongoing charges and neighbourhood safety considerations that require an informed decision.
