Chain-Free Top Floor Flat, Extended Lease, Share Of Freehold, Ideal For Investors/First-Time Buyers

Note from the Homeowner:

While I haven't lived in the flat myself, it has been a consistently reliable rental property for me. Its proximity to town and the station has always been a key draw for tenants. I am selling as part of a portfolio adjustment for a new project.

Alex’s Best Bits

Top floor is always a win, with no one above you. The bedroom’s at the back too, so you’re nicely tucked away from the road at night.

The landing and stairwell is a proper usable space for bikes, coats or extra storage.

Norwood Road sits back from London Road, so you avoid the heavy traffic but stay well connected. Under five minutes to the number 17 bus into town, and roughly a mile to the station.

From a buying point of view, it’s straightforward. No onward chain. Searches pre-ordered. Solicitors engaged. Share of freehold with a long lease. Peppercorn ground rent and a very low service charge of £30 as it’s mainly just the communal entrance. Gas central heating too, which you don’t always get in flats.

It’s not super shiny or high end. But the fundamentals are strong, and that’s what really matters.

We look forward to showing you around.
