THE PROPERTY:

Positioned on the ground floor, this one double bedroom flat offers approximately 527 sq ft of living space, off street parking and a location which is great for the transport and amenities available in Forest Hill town centre.

Ian Court, located approximately 0.2 miles from Forest Hill town centre, is a well-kept purpose-built block set back from the road with mature, well-presented communal gardens. There are gardens to the front of the development which create a welcoming entrance whilst additional gardens in the development are ideal for BBQs and socialising outdoors.

Spanning over 19ft in length, the lounge features a window which is almost the same height and width of the room allowing natural light to flood in.

The property has multiple storage cupboards which is extremely practical and uncommon in many properties.

The block is well presented, and the management company reported a healthy reserve fund of circa £107,000 in financial year 2022 to 2023. This offers buyers confidence there is a healthy fund for costs associated with management / maintenance of the building. Not all blocks offer a reserve fund which we expect is an appealing feature for many buyers.

The property has been owned by the sellers since 2014, and they have made some significant upgrades during this time including:

•Installation of a Positive Input Ventilation unit - A Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit is a ventilation system that actively introduces fresh, filtered air into a property, displacing stale air and reducing humidity

• Upgraded front door to comply with regulations

• Recent redecorated with carpet replaced in bedroom (prior to being marketed for sale)

It’s also pertinent for buyers to be aware the owners have the boiler serviced annually. Records of this can be made available during the conveyancing process.
