Set on Laindon High Road, this compact one-bedroom first-floor flat offers an affordable entry point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property includes an open-plan kitchen/lounge, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a separate bathroom and one off-street parking space to the rear. A long lease of 154 years provides security for buyers.
The flat is small at approximately 364 sq ft and requires light to moderate renovation; the asking price reflects this. Heating is by electric room heaters and the double glazing dates from before 2002 — improvements to heating and insulation would add comfort and value. Council tax is low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong, which suits commuters and remote workers.
Location is a principal benefit: a short walk to Laindon Station with direct trains to London Fenchurch Street, plus easy access to the A127 and M25. Local amenities include multiple bus routes, shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within walking distance.
Be candid about the neighbourhood: crime rates are above average and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may concern some buyers. For those seeking a bargain with clear upside — a renovated one-bed close to transport links — this flat offers scope to add value through modernisation.
