Description

Offered at auction, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is set around five minutes from Westcliff beach. Period details include high ceilings, mouldings and character doors, while the accommodation comprises a hallway, living and dining room, kitchen, bathroom and separate utility room. The living space has a sloping ceiling and cased opening, and the kitchen looks onto the communal garden. There is private rear access, a communal front entrance and allocated parking. The residents manage the block themselves. The stated service charge is £85 per month and covers communal cleaning, garden maintenance, buildings insurance and fire-alarm testing. The listing gives approximate monthly gas and electricity costs of £120 and water costs of £30, and says the boiler was installed around five years ago. A survey carried out five years ago reportedly found no structural issues. Westcliff station is described as about a seven-minute walk away, with connections towards Southend and London Fenchurch Street. The listing also notes nearby shops, schools, bus routes and road links. Approximately 60 years remain on the lease, with renewal available for £35,000. The modern method of auction has a 56-working-day reservation period and non-refundable buyer fees; prospective bidders should check the legal pack and all costs before proceeding.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is priced at £186 per sq ft, well below the local average of £350 per sq ft—an attractive entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and personalise. It is liveable but dated, so the project is a light cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul; period mouldings, character doors and the generous living/dining space give it a distinctive base to work with.

The leafy communal garden, allocated parking and coastal setting close to Westcliff beach and station add to the appeal. The lease has approximately 60 years remaining, with renewal available for £35,000, so that should be investigated carefully as part of the purchase.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated décor and older floor finishes to give the usable living spaces and bedrooms a more contemporary feel.
  • Retain and highlight the period mouldings, character doors and high ceilings as distinctive features.
  • Enjoy the leafy communal garden, allocated parking and convenient position near the beach and Westcliff station.

Key risks

  • The approximately 60-year lease and stated renewal option need careful legal and financial due diligence.
