Residents have use of communal facilities including a lounge with conservatory, communal kitchen, laundrette and on-site parking with visitor spaces. The building was constructed within the 2007–2011 period and sits in an inner-city, culturally mixed area close to shops, transport links and local amenities.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold property with around 280 years remaining. Annual service charge is approximately £3,206 and ground rent is £200.

The long lease and chain-free sale make it straightforward to purchase, but budget realistically for the ongoing service charge and consider personal safety preferences given local crime figures.
