582 sqftDescription
This one-bedroom flat on Acton Lane is offered chain free and is described as requiring modernisation throughout. The accommodation is approximately 582 sq ft, with a 61-year lease, ground rent of £75 per annum and service charge of £1,150 per annum. The short lease is a significant consideration, and buyers should establish the likely extension terms and costs before proceeding.
Harlesden and Willesden Junction stations are within reach, with Bakerloo Line, Overground and National Rail services. The listing also notes proximity to the Old Oak Common regeneration area and the planned HS2 and Elizabeth Line interchange. The property may suit buyers assessing a refurbishment project, subject to the lease position and the costs of the required works.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £180,000, this one-bedroom flat is priced at £309/sq ft, around 50% below the local average—a strong entry point for someone looking to acquire and reshape a property. The separate bedroom and open-plan living area provide a clear starting layout, while the dated finishes offer scope to modernise it to your own taste. The location is well connected, with Harlesden and Willesden Junction nearby.
This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh: dated finishes are visible in several areas, and the bedroom ceiling has prominent staining and a visible crack or joint line, whose cause is not established. The short 61-year lease is a major consideration and needs careful investigation alongside the ceiling condition before committing.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a markedly lower £/sq ft than the local average, creating scope to improve the flat while keeping the purchase price in perspective.
- Rework the open-plan living and kitchen area and refresh the separate bedroom to create a more cohesive, contemporary home.
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, with the option to repair or replace the damaged or unfinished section beneath the kitchen worktop.
Key risks
- Prominent bedroom-ceiling staining and a visible crack or joint line need investigation; the cause is not established, and making-good may depend on what is found.
- A heavy, multi-area modernisation programme will take more time and coordination than a cosmetic refresh; allow for investigating the ceiling and resolving the kitchen worktop-area damage.
- The 61-year lease is short and could materially affect financing and resale; establish the lease-extension position and likely process before proceeding.
