This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Mercury Gardens offers a practical, move-in-ready layout for first-time buyers seeking strong transport links. The open-plan 22ft kitchen/living area opens onto a private balcony, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite for added convenience. The development provides concierge, residents' gym, lift access and covered garage parking.
Leasehold running at approximately 135 years leaves long-term security for mortgage lenders. Annual costs include a service charge of around £3,600 and ground rent of £240. Council Tax band D applies. The flat is compact but efficiently arranged across about 729 sq ft and suits buyers wanting town-centre living rather than large private gardens.
Location is a primary selling point: Romford station is about 0.37 miles away with Elizabeth Line and National Rail services for fast commuter journeys into London. Town-centre amenities, shops and parks are within easy reach. Be aware the area records higher-than-average crime levels, so factor this into parking/entry security expectations.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a well-specified, low‑maintenance apartment close to transport. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider the compact internal footprint against their space needs.
