A spacious one-bedroom flat set within a small block on Heather Avenue, offering straightforward buy-to-let potential and low running costs. The accommodation extends to around 648 sqft with good storage, a modern-style living room and a practical kitchen—suitable for single professionals or couples.
This property sits in an area with strong rental demand and allocated off-street parking, helping lettings and tenant convenience. Service charges and ground rent are low, and the lease has about 93 years remaining, which supports mortgageability and resale for investors.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is classed as very deprived, the EPC sits at D, and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s. Services, heating and appliances have not been tested and should be inspected by a buyer’s surveyor.
Overall, this is a pragmatic investment pick for an investor seeking steady rental income with modest management needs. It’s best suited to those prioritising yields and low overheads rather than premium finishes or a quiet, affluent location.
