Summary - BOXGROVE HOUSE FLAT 18 LORDS STREET PORTSMOUTH PO1 1QJ
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free 3-bed split maisonette with garden, close to city centre—ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Chain-free split-level maisonette with garden
This chain-free split-level maisonette offers three bedrooms, a private garden and communal parking close to Portsmouth city centre. The layout feels more like a house, with the lounge/diner and kitchen on the ground floor and three bedrooms plus bathroom and separate WC on the upper level. At approximately 915 sq ft, the flat is spacious for the area and suits first-time buyers, professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking rental demand near university and transport links.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. The lease has about 90 years remaining and service charge reviews occur annually; there is no ground rent review period. Residents parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and the property includes a private garden plus communal outdoor space.
Buyers should weigh the practical drawbacks: the area has high crime rates and is described as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental yields. The kitchen shows signs of wear and some ceiling mould and will likely need modernization. As a leasehold property, the remaining 90-year term may influence mortgage options and future lease extension costs.
Overall this property is a pragmatic opportunity: roomy, chain-free and well connected, but requiring some updating and careful consideration of the local area and lease position before committing.
