This two-bedroom top-floor flat sits within a Victorian building a short walk from Exmouth town centre and local amenities. The flat has recently been renovated, with replastered rooms, new-looking bathroom and high ceilings that create a bright, airy feel. With 653 sq ft of accommodation, the open-plan living/kitchen provides a practical, compact home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 77 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this short lease, and buyers should confirm lending options and costs before committing. Service charge and ground rent apply (approximately £1,200 service charge and £154 ground rent), and the communal garden needs attention.
The property is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on electric mains; walls are cavity built with no added insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs. The area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal but sits in a more deprived neighbourhood with very high local crime rates—buyers should weigh location pros and cons carefully.
For a purchaser willing to accept the lease and local-area challenges, this flat offers immediate move-in standard accommodation, scope to improve the communal garden, and potential rental demand thanks to its town-centre location. Practical checks on lease extension costs, lender acceptability and insulation/heating upgrades are recommended before proceeding.
