Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on Erith High Street, ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking strong transport links and river outlooks. The open-plan living area leads onto a generous private balcony with direct river views — a rare feature for town-centre flats and one that noticeably enhances rental and resale appeal.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 243 years), an affordable council tax band and a below-average quoted service charge (£254.90). The property sits close to Erith Station and local shops, making commuting and day-to-day life straightforward. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working or tenant demand.
Be clear on neighbourhood facts: crime levels are very high and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect perceived safety and long-term capital growth. The building uses a community heating scheme; check service arrangements and costs. Outdoor space is limited to the balcony and parking appears to be on-street only.
This apartment suits a buyer wanting a well-located starter home or a landlord targeting commuters and students. The long lease and river-facing balcony deliver genuine value, but budget for practical due diligence on heating, service charge details, and local safety measures.
