Set in the secure Angel Wharf development, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers about 575 sq ft of open-plan living with a private balcony overlooking the canal. The second-floor position brings good natural light to the living and dining area, and the modern fixtures and double glazing reflect relatively recent build standards (2007 onwards).
Practical features include a concierge service, chain-free sale, and a long lease of 107 years, making the flat straightforward to purchase or let. Transport links are excellent with Angel, Old Street and Hoxton within easy reach, and the immediate neighbourhood provides cafes, restaurants, shops and leisure amenities popular with tech and creative professionals.
Buyers should note the property is heated by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can affect running costs and future resale preferences. The service charge is above average at approximately £4,730 per year, a material ongoing cost that will affect net yield for investors and monthly outgoings for owner-occupiers.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home in a lively Inner City area, or investors looking for a low-management, well-connected let—provided the service charge and electric heating are considered in affordability calculations.
