A two-bedroom first-floor flat in a quiet gated development off Victoria Road, within walking distance of Romford station and town centre. Vacant now and offered chain-free, it works equally well as a first home or a buy-to-let, with a tenant able to move in straight after completion.

A large lounge with double-glazed windows to a dual aspect, wall lighting and twin radiators, with a door through to the kitchen.

Kitchen
A separate kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units and splashback tiling, an integrated gas hob and electric oven, space for further appliances, and a window to the rear.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

Additional Features
First-floor flat set within a gated development, with parking and secure door-entry to the blocks. Wood-effect flooring to the main rooms and double glazing throughout.

Investment Potential
Being sold with vacant possession and no onward chain, this is a straightforward purchase for an investor - a tenant could be placed immediately on completion. Estimated rental potential of around £1,700 pcm, reflecting a gross yield of approximately 8.7% at the £235,000 asking price (gross figure, before service charge, ground rent and other costs). Rental figure is an estimate only.
