About this property

Spanning a generous 559 sq ft, this is a bright, open-plan one bedroom flat on the second floor. It’s offered with a share of freehold and a very low service charge.

In today’s market, where many buyers are wary of rising service charges, this is a rare advantage. As a share of freehold owner, you’ll have a real say in how the building is run and what it costs. That means peace of mind and low running costs for years to come.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Tower Hamlets, 2026/27 bills run from £1,225 a year in band A to £3,676 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Tower Hamlets, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
