The surrounding building appears well maintained with communal areas and balconies, and the apartment’s footprint of about 759 sq ft gives comfortable living space at this price point.
Be aware of a few practical considerations: the lease has around 102 years remaining, the annual service charge is approximately £2,175 and ground rent is £200 a year. The local area records above-average crime and is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand and should be weighed when budgeting.
