Chain-free 2-bed flat near Vauxhall with lift and strong transport links.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with lift access
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment in a 1930s local-authority block, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or rental. The flat benefits from a lift, secure entry, double glazing and a spacious kitchen — rare for this size — and sits moments from Vauxhall and Kennington transport links and the River Thames.
The layout extends to about 539 sq ft and is presented in tidy condition with wood flooring in the living room and built-in shelving. Practical running costs are straightforward: mains gas heating, Energy Rating D, council tax described as cheap. Residents pay an annual service charge of around £1,400 and a ground rent of £10.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining; buyers should confirm mortgageability and consider lease-extension costs. The building was constructed in 1930 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), so thermal upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and running costs. The area is classified as deprived in wider measures and has average crime levels, though local amenities, schools and fast transport links are strong selling points for commuters and investors.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable London entry, buy-to-let investors targeting central connectivity, or buyers willing to make modest energy or cosmetic improvements to add value. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and scope for improvement in person.
