Well-presented 2-bed flat with strong rental appeal and transport links.
Two double bedrooms with good natural light
This two-bedroom apartment on Queensberry Place is a practical, well-presented home suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The living room and bedrooms are bright with good natural light, and the modern kitchen and bathroom are tidy and ready to use. At 668 sq ft it offers an average-sized, functional layout with three principal rooms and double glazing.
The building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and appears well maintained externally. The property benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local shops, parks and public transport — all positives for residents and renters. Nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, which will appeal to families.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is leasehold with around 100 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,600 and a small ground rent of £25. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas, and the walls are timber frame (assumed) rather than masonry. The surrounding area records high crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental yields.
Overall this is an accessible, straightforward apartment with clear rental appeal and low immediate refurbishment needs. It will suit purchasers seeking an affordable entry into E12 or investors targeting steady rental demand, provided they factor in service charges, heating costs and local crime statistics into affordability and yield calculations.
