1 bedroom apartment to rent

A large one bedroom live/work unit set within the characterful Springfield House Lofts on Tyssen Street, Dalston, offering approximately 930 sq ft of internal space. This lower ground floor property has been finished to a modern standard and features a substantial open-plan living/kitchen area with wood-effect flooring, recessed lighting, a fitted contemporary kitchen and striking industrial detailing, including exposed brickwork and warehouse-style windows. The bedroom is generously sized, and the bathroom is finished in a modern style with quality fittings.

Ideally positioned for Dalston's vibrant amenities, cafés, shops and transport links, this is a superb opportunity to secure a distinctive warehouse-style home in a sought-after East London location.

The building in which the property is located has a designated Live/Work planning use. A Live/Work property is designed to allow the space to be used simultaneously as a home as well as a base from which to undertake work. Working from the property is a mandatory requirement, and using the flat exclusively for residential use is not permitted. The Live/Work Lease that governs the tenancy is a combination of both residential and commercial.

As such, the Live/Work Lease is not the same as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) which relates to purely residential occupation. It does not fall within the Housing Act 1988 and therefore does not benefit from the statutory protections that flow from that legislation, including the requirement for deposits to be registered with a government approved scheme. Importantly, the Live/Work Lease will also not be covered by changes made to residential tenancies by the Renters' Rights Bill, including open-ended tenancies and the ability to appeal rent increases. The Live/Work Lease may fall within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

The provisions of Sections 24 to 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 will be excluded in relation to the tenancy. You will be provided with a Notice in the form set out in Schedule 1 of the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003.

Before the start of the lease, you will need to sign a Statutory Declaration, which must be witnessed by a solicitor who is empowered to administer oaths. The cost is usually minimal (circa £10) and can typically be completed quickly at most solicitors' offices, often without an appointment
