Set on the second floor of a secure purpose-built block, this two-bedroom flat offers a clear scope-for-improvement opportunity in vibrant East London. Rooms are well proportioned and naturally bright; a separate kitchen and living room create a traditional, easy-to-adapt layout. Communal off-street parking is a practical rarity in the area and adds everyday convenience.
The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors who want a quick purchase and a refurbishment project. The lease has around 98 years remaining and the average service charge is circa £2,000 per year—factors to consider for future financing and running costs. Council tax is described as affordable.
The flat needs renovation throughout: cosmetic updating and modernising of kitchen and bathroom are required to bring the property up to current standards. The location is well connected — Hackney Wick Overground and easy links to Stratford — and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which supports family use or long-term rental appeal.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks honestly: the area records very high crime levels and the block’s glazing and fittings date from before 2002, so further investment in security or upgrades may be needed. For anyone prepared to refurbish, this is a cost-effective entry into an inner-city market with solid rental and resale potential.
