A compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat positioned close to Southend seafront, the town centre and mainline stations — an affordable entry point to the area. The apartment sits in a period building and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, an allocated parking space and use of a communal garden. The 118-year lease gives long-term security for a leasehold purchase.
The property is offered chain free and will be sold at auction by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the reservation fee (non-refundable) and the 56-day completion expectation after exchange; allow time for mortgage arrangements and read the Buyer Information Pack thoroughly. This is suitable for a first-time buyer seeking a modest, low-running-cost home or an investor targeting a city-centre rental let.
Internally the flat is an average-sized one-bedroom with a compact living/dining area and small fitted kitchen; it will benefit from light updating and decorative refresh rather than major structural works. External fabric appears sound, though some external redecoration and garden tidying would improve kerb appeal. No flooding risk is recorded and broadband/mobile connectivity is good.
Be frank about the neighbourhood context: local statistics show higher crime levels and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which affects resale and rental demand. Prospective buyers should complete full local due diligence, check exact service costs and ground rent, and inspect the property and documentation in the Buyer Information Pack before bidding or making an offer.
