This second- and third-floor leasehold flat offers three bedrooms and immediate rental income with tenants in situ — suited to investors or first-time buyers prepared to upgrade. The property sits on a long lease (155 years remaining) and includes double glazing and low-energy lighting, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern renters.
The interior requires some modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the electric storage heating will limit heating efficiency. Service charge is £600 pa and ground rent £600 pa; ground rent is high relative to the service charge and should be factored into running costs. The overall footprint is compact at about 797 sq ft.
Location benefits include quick access to several nearby train stations, regular bus routes and a range of local shops and amenities. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach. Prospective buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels — factor in safety and refurbishment costs when assessing potential returns.
This is a practical buy-to-let or starter purchase for someone who can carry out improvements to increase value or rental yield. The property is sold with no forward chain and is offered with occupants in place for immediate income.
