This is a 75% shared ownership sale; Housing 21 retains the remaining 25% and will require purchaser approval. The lease has approximately 110 years remaining. Monthly charges are substantial: a service charge of £366.90, utilities and support fees apply, plus a mandatory core support charge billed separately. Prospective buyers should budget for these ongoing costs and verify all charges and lease details with their solicitor.
The scheme suits downsizers wanting on-site support and social facilities — including a residents’ lounge, restaurant, hair salon and 24-hour emergency call system. Heating and hot water are provided by a community gas-fired system with individual controls; buyers should confirm service arrangements and condition of equipment. The area is within a mixed, more deprived neighbourhood; local amenities and transport links are present but local socio-economic factors may influence long-term resale.
Overall this apartment offers comfortable, purpose-built retirement living with strong communal support and convenience. It is best for buyers prioritising on-site services and social facilities who accept shared ownership and higher service charges.
