Leasehold with 55 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages without extension
Electric ceiling heating; double glazing with unknown installation date
Low ground rent (£75) and very cheap council tax

Interior needs modernisation — dated finishes and worn fixtures throughout
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, strong local rental demand
A compact first-floor one-bedroom apartment set in central Abingdon, ideal for a solo professional, first-time buyer or a buy-to-let. The flat sits within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, schools and transport links, offering strong rental demand and convenience for everyday living.
Internally the accommodation is small and shows signs of age; basic finishes and dated décor will require modernization to reach market-standard rents or owner-occupier comfort. Heating is electric ceiling units and glazing is double; there is no private garden and outlooks are onto the street.
The lease has 55 years remaining. This is a material issue — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended, so purchasers should factor in lease extension costs or plan for a cash purchase. Ground rent is modest at £75, and council tax is described as very cheap.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, and a central location close to quality schools and town amenities. The property represents clear refurbishment potential and a low-entry price in an affluent town centre, but buyers must weigh financing constraints and the work required to bring the flat up to modern standards.
