Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold (101 years remaining)
Set within a residential side road, close to the town centre, this first floor flat was built in 2000 and forms part of a development that comprises a row of seven freehold terraced houses with an archway mid-way along the terrace to provide vehicular access to parking spaces and garages to the rear. Above this archway is this first floor flat plus a second floor flat. There is an entrance under the archway and inside are good sized rooms that include a large living room, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms plus a bathroom. At the rear of the building is a brick built detached double width garage with a pitched tiled roof, light and power. This garage was constructed for the present owner by the developer a few years after the development was completed.

Auctioneer's Note:
We are advised that the 7 freeholders have all refused to make any contribution to the service charges and the owner of the flat above 63 Kings Road has ignored all requests to contribute to service charges. In consequence the Landlord has declined to manage the development and accordingly there are no accounts or service charge budgets. The Landlord considers that the Seller of 63 Kings Road has met all of her contributions to ground rent and service charges, as noted in the LPE1 and he insures the building for the two leasehold flats and has done some maintenance to the flats rather than managing the development as a whole.

Tenure:
Leasehold

Accommodation:
Reception hall, living room with two store cupboards, kitchen, two bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom.

Exterior:
A gated entrance gives access to the rear of the building and the brick built detached double width garage which has an up and over style garage door and storage space within the loft void.

Lease:
125 years from 24/06/2000 (101 years remaining)

Ground Rent:
Included within the Service Charge.

Service Charge:
£365 per annum (this includes ground rent charge of £75).

    OnTheMarket may have applied supplementary data to this property listing, including:

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 12, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 5, 2018 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
