This modern two-bedroom, two-bath apartment occupies 794 sqft in a 2012+ development adjacent to Aldgate East station — an easy rental draw for commuters and students. The open-plan living space, contemporary kitchen and double glazing create a low-maintenance, marketable home with 24-hour concierge and good broadband/mobile connectivity.
Practical ownership facts: the flat is leasehold with 121 years remaining, an average ground rent of £400 and a community heating scheme tied to mains gas. Council tax is described as quite expensive, which will affect net rental yield and owner-occupier outgoings.
The location is highly connected and culturally vibrant, close to Spitalfields, Whitechapel Gallery and Shoreditch amenities. Note the wider area is classified as a multicultural student neighbourhood with very high crime and very high area deprivation — factors that influence tenant mix, insurance costs and long-term capital growth prospects.
For an investor, this is a turn-key, low-upkeep unit with strong transport links and tenant demand from students and young professionals. For buyers seeking a quieter, low-crime suburb or premium school catchments, the immediate neighbourhood’s inner-city character and crime statistics are a material drawback.
