Private garden and low running costs, ideal to modernise and personalise.
985-year lease, no ground rent or service charges
A long-lease two-bedroom flat with a private rear garden, priced for buyers seeking an affordable foothold in Portsmouth. The 985-year lease and absence of ground rent or service charges reduce ongoing costs, while gas central heating and double glazing provide basic comfort.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 502 sq ft) and shows mid-20th-century fixtures and finishes. The living room and bedrooms will benefit from updating; decor and carpets are dated and there are signs the property needs general modernisation. The building likely has cavity walls with no added insulation and the glazing installation date is unknown.
This is a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors looking for a low-entry purchase with immediate rental potential. Note practical drawbacks: small overall size, garden and exterior need outdoor maintenance, and the local area records above-average crime levels. Nearby schools are mixed in Ofsted outcomes, and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived blue-collar terraces.
Viewings are recommended for buyers who prioritise long lease security and low ongoing fees, and who are comfortable undertaking cosmetic or modest structural improvements to add value.
