A chain-free first floor flat offering a spacious lounge, well-proportioned bedroom, fitted kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom. Ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, set close to local amenities, transport links, schools, green spaces

This chain-free first floor flat offers well-balanced accommodation that is ideally suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a practical and accessible home in a well-established residential setting.

The property is accessed via a communal entrance which leads to a private hallway, creating a clear sense of separation and privacy.

Inside, the layout is straightforward and functional, with a generously sized lounge providing comfortable living space and ample room for both seating and dining furniture. The bedroom is well proportioned and benefits from good natural light. A fitted kitchen/breakfast room sits to the rear, offering space for everyday cooking, while the bathroom is positioned off the hallway and fitted with a white suite.

The flat is presented in a liveable condition, allowing a buyer to move straight in while also offering scope to update or personalise over time. The overall layout works well for single occupancy or a couple and is equally appealing as a low-maintenance rental investment due to its clear room proportions and simple configuration.

The location in Southend-on-Sea provides a strong balance of everyday convenience and wider lifestyle amenities. A range of local shops and services are within easy reach for day-to-day needs, while Southend town centre offers a broader selection of retail, cafes and leisure facilities.

The area is well served by public transport, with nearby rail stations providing regular services into London, making it a popular choice for commuters. Road links connect efficiently to surrounding areas and the A127, supporting travel across Essex.

Green spaces and recreational areas are also a notable feature locally, with parks and open spaces offering opportunities for walking, exercise and leisure time, while the seafront and coastal attractions of Southend are easily accessible for weekends and downtime.

Combining a chain-free position, practical internal layout and a well-connected location, this flat represents a solid opportunity for buyers seeking an affordable first home or a straightforward investment with long-term appeal.

Deposit

Sales can be secured with a reservation deposit of £2,500. This forms part of the final purchase price and is not an extra cost.

This deposit ensures that the property is taken off the market as soon as a sale is agreed. It is then exclusively reserved for you, eliminating gazumping, time wasting and financial loss.

An administration fee of £396 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This gives the buyer exclusive rights to purchase within a pre-agreed timeframe.

Exclusivity

Following the payment of the above amount, Springbok Properties will facilitate a fixed exclusivity period (approximately 12 weeks). During this time, surveys should be arranged and preparations made for the exchange of contracts. The property will be reserved, so there will be no risk of gazumping.
