This contemporary one-bedroom apartment, featuring an inviting balcony, is perfectly situated within walking distance of Colchester's North train station with mainline links to London's Liverpool Street, Colchester's General Hospital, and Highwoods Country Park.

When considering the purchase of a leasehold property with a 125-year term starting from June 2014, it's important to take into account the various costs associated with the lease-which in this case includes a rising ground rent and service charges. Here's a breakdown of the information you provided:

Ground Rent: £364 per annum. Since it's a rising ground rent, this amount is likely to increase at specified intervals detailed in the lease agreement.
Service Charges: £2,067.96 per annum. These charges typically cover the cost of maintaining common areas, building insurance, and other services provided by the landlord or managing agent.

The incremental increases in ground rent as stipulated in the lease agreement, coupled with the outcomes of the EWS1 review, could potentially restrict the ability to obtain a mortgage or other financing for this property.
