EMMA HOUSE, MARKET LINK, RM1 — ROMFORD | See Virtual Tour
640 SQFT | THIRD FLOOR | LEASEHOLD 108 YRS | SCOPE TO REFRESH

ASSET
Emma House is a modern 2008-built development of brick and render with inset balconies, positioned on Market Link in the heart of Romford town centre, moments from the historic market place, within the London Borough of Havering. The flat sits on the third floor and extends to 640 sqft. The reception room measures 12'6" x 11'5" and opens onto a private balcony of 8'0" x 7'3" (approx. 58 sqft) with an elevated outlook across the town centre. The kitchen is a separate fitted room of 10'3" x 9'3". The two bedrooms measure 11'2" x 10'8" and 9'7" x 8'3", served by a bathroom of 7'1" x 5'4", with three storage cupboards off the hallway. The specification includes gas central heating, double glazing and a secure entry system.

TENURE & HOLDING COSTS
Leasehold — 108 years remaining (125 years from September 2009, Land Registry confirmed). Ground rent: TBC | Service charge: TBC | Council tax: Band C (LB Havering) |

CONDITION
Scope to refresh — the flat is habitable and serviceable throughout, with cosmetic redecoration offering a straightforward route to uplift. Services and appliances have not been and will not be tested.

CONNECTIVITY
Romford station is 0.4 miles, served by the Elizabeth line running direct to Liverpool Street, Farringdon, Bond Street and through to Heathrow, alongside London Overground Liberty line services to Upminster and Greater Anglia trains into Essex. Romford Market, The Brewery and the Liberty shopping centre are all on the doorstep, with the green spaces of Raphael Park within easy reach.

BUY CASE
Why does town-centre Romford keep outperforming for landlords and first-time buyers alike? The Elizabeth line put Romford on the direct line to the City and West End, and stock within walking distance of the station carries the demand to match. Here the fundamentals are already banked: a registry-confirmed 108-year lease sitting comfortably clear of the 80-year marriage-value threshold, band C council tax, and 640 sqft with a genuine near-60 sqft balcony — a specification most town-centre two-beds cannot offer. Light cosmetic refreshment resets the flat for either exit: resale into Romford's first-time-buyer market at the refreshed level, or immediate letting into one of outer London's deepest rental markets. The work is decorative, the demand is structural.
