Summary - Flat 8 Forbes House, 370, Romford Road E7 8BF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable shared ownership near Elizabeth Line and green spaces.
One double bedroom, reception room and fitted kitchen
A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Forbes House, offered chain free and ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable London entry point. The property sits on the second floor and extends to about 510 sq ft, with a double bedroom, reception room, fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Triple glazing and a mains gas boiler provide practical comfort, and the long lease (108 years remaining) offers security for shared ownership purchasers.
Location is a strong practical advantage: Forest Gate and Woodgrange Park stations are within walking distance, including access to the Elizabeth Line for fast journeys to central London and Heathrow. Local shops, buses and the green space of Wanstead Flats are all close by, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are in the area.
This is a shared ownership opportunity with a 25% share available, making monthly outgoings lower than a full-market purchase. Be aware the property sits in an area classed as deprived with average crime levels and only average broadband speeds — factors to consider if remote working or community profile are priorities. Overall, this apartment offers practical, low-entry ownership with good transport links and a long lease.
