A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment arranged for 75% shared ownership, positioned a short walk from Pitsea town centre and the train station. The lounge and bedroom are light-filled and the separate kitchen and three-piece bathroom are functional — a straightforward, low-maintenance base for a first purchase. Secure intercom entry, ample communal parking and a shared garden add practical appeal for everyday living.
Running costs are moderate: annual service charge £480 and ground rent £93, with a monthly rent on the remaining share of £90. The property uses electric room heaters (no central gas heating) and has double glazing fitted before 2002. Broadband speeds are reported fast and council tax is very low (Band A).
Important lease and construction points are clear: 84 years remain on the lease and will require attention or extension before long. The building is timber-frame with partial insulation assumed, and heating is by electric heaters — buyers should factor potential upgrade costs when budgeting. EPC details and appliance testing should be confirmed by your solicitor prior to purchase.
For a buyer aiming to get onto the property ladder, this flat offers an affordable, well-located entry with sensible running costs and communal amenities. It suits a single occupant or couple happy with a modest footprint and willing to manage lease renewal and potential energy-efficiency improvements.
