This compact first-floor flat on Maltby Drive offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Enfield’s property market. At 376 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open-plan kitchen/living area, one bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. The building is from the 1980s and presents straightforward, low-maintenance external upkeep.
The flat has genuine investor and first-time buyer appeal — vacant possession potential, EPC rating C (moderate efficiency), and council tax band B that keeps running costs down. The rear boundary adjoins mature trees, giving a private outlook, and local transport links and shops are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the property’s limits: internal space is small, heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly, and the area records higher crime and very deprived local indices. The lease has about 85 years remaining; service charge is around £1,250 annually and ground rent is £25.
Overall this is a quick-purchase opportunity for someone wanting a low-stress entry or a straightforward buy-to-let. The flat will suit purchasers willing to accept modest space and some modernisation in return for affordability and strong rental demand potential.
