Lease c.89 years remaining — buyer should check leasehold implications

Area records: very high crime and very deprived — impacts desirability
Solid brick 1950s–60s build; likely limited wall insulation, affects efficiency
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment offering almost 700 sq ft in a red-brick post-war block. The light-filled reception room, separate kitchen/diner and clever storage make this a ready-to-live-in home for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a low-fuss investment.
Location is a major strength: Homerton Overground and Hackney Central are short walks away, with Chatsworth Road’s cafés, shops and markets on your doorstep. Nearby green spaces include Hackney Downs, London Fields and Victoria Park, while good local schools and cultural venues add everyday convenience.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The flat is chain-free and has had recent updates (new boiler, bathroom and double glazing reported within the last three years). The lease has approximately 89 years remaining and the annual service charge is around £1,704. The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and very high deprivation scores, which may affect suitability for some buyers or rental yields.
Construction and running costs should be considered: the building is mid-20th-century solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. Overall this apartment suits someone wanting a well-located, low-maintenance home with immediate access to East London transport and amenities, or an investor targeting strong rental demand in Hackney, provided they accept the local area risks and lease length.
