A compact first-floor flat positioned moments from Albert Road and the Southsea seafront, offered with no onward chain and a share of freehold. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a fitted bathroom — suitable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central Southsea convenience.
The property is economical to run with gas central heating, double glazing and a communal store room. Practical advantages include a long lease (about 102 years) and low council tax (Band B), helping keep ongoing costs modest.
Be realistic about the size and condition: the flat totals around 431 sq ft and sits in a largely Victorian building that likely needs energy improvements (walls assumed uninsulated). The EPC rating is E, and some updating or additional insulation would improve comfort and running costs. The area is lively and cosmopolitan but records higher crime and local deprivation, so buyers valuing tranquillity should note the location.
For buyers seeking central access to amenities, transport links and the seafront, this is a workable, chain-free entry into Southsea with straightforward refurbishment potential. For investors, the compact layout and proximity to student and professional renters make it easy to let; for first-time purchasers, it offers an affordable, characterful base with clear scope to personalise.
