A recently modernised two-bedroom top-floor apartment in the heart of Upminster, conveniently placed just 0.1 miles from Upminster C2C station and the High Street. The open-plan 15' lounge opens onto a south-facing balcony, giving pleasant street and neighbourhood views. A private garage and gated approach to the car park add useful parking security and storage that’s rare for flat living.
The apartment is presented with contemporary finishes throughout and built-in storage in the bedrooms, making it ready to move into or rent out immediately. The lease is long (approximately 130 years) with no ground rent and an annual service charge around £1,700, giving clarity on medium-term ownership costs.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and primary fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. Council Tax sits at Band E (above average), and local crime levels are recorded as above average. Communal amenity space is limited and, as a top-floor flat, access is likely by stairs only.
This home will suit buyers wanting immediate, low-effort occupation close to transport and good schools — families seeking local schooling or professionals wanting swift links into London. Investors may also value the strong location and ready-to-rent condition, though running costs and service charges should be factored into yield calculations.
