5-bed serviced apartment in London, 650 sq ft — £265,200

Listing a 5-bed serviced apartment in London at £265,200. The stated internal area is approximately 650 sq ft, and the condition is described as average to good. Viewings are available by appointment.

Before arranging one, I’d want the floor area verified and clarity on transaction fees, energy performance, service charges and title documents. It would also help to know which fixtures are included and whether there is parking. What would you ask for first?

The floor plan and verified measurement would come first for me. Five bedrooms within 650 sq ft leaves very limited space once common areas are included, so the room dimensions and layout matter more than the bedroom count. I’d also ask whether the £265,200 figure excludes any transaction fees and request the current service-charge details before viewing.

I wouldn’t dismiss it on size alone, but “serviced apartment” needs clarification because ongoing charges can change the overall proposition. Alongside the title documents and energy-performance information, ask for written condition notes: what needs repair, what stays with the property, and whether parking is included, separate or unavailable. Then use the appointment to confirm the advertised layout and measurements in person.
