This one-bedroom apartment in Homesands House is designed for over-60s seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused home close to Southport town centre. The property offers a bright lounge overlooking tended communal gardens, resident parking and onsite laundry, plus the reassurance of a resident house manager and 24-hour emergency call system.
The flat is compact at around 388 sqft and benefits from double glazing and a practical layout with built-in bedroom wardrobes. Running costs are partly mitigated by a very low council tax band, but main heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more expensive than central systems.
Important lease and lending note: just 56 years remain on the lease. This materially reduces mortgage options—many lenders may refuse standard residential mortgages. Buyers should budget for lease extension costs or be prepared to buy with cash/personal arrangements.
The apartment will suit a downsizer or investor wanting easy-care accommodation in a retirement-focused development. The interior needs updating—particularly the kitchen—and the building sits in an area with above-average crime and local deprivation, which should be factored into resale and rental expectations.
