Summary - 26, Langford Drive PR8 5QD
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable entry for first-time buyers near good schools and amenities.
30% shared ownership with monthly rent £332.70 and service charge £39.10
A well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home offered on a 30% shared ownership basis, aimed squarely at first-time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder in Southport. The house offers a generous open-plan living–dining–kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom across an average-sized 708 sq ft layout. Outside there are lawned gardens and two allocated parking spaces in the rear car park.
The financial package is clear: the asking price reflects a 30% share with a monthly rent of £332.70 plus a service charge of £39.10 (total monthly charges £371.80). The lease is long-leasehold and allows staircasing up to 100% ownership; note the listing references around 97 years remaining on the lease. Council Tax is in Band C and there is no reported flood risk.
Practical positives include gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband availability in the area and nearby good-rated schools. Drawbacks to note: this is a shared ownership sale so you will pay ongoing rent and service charge until you staircase; the allocated parking is in a communal rear car park rather than private driveway parking; and the property sits in an area with average crime levels. An internal inspection is strongly recommended to check finish and fit for your needs.
Overall, this is a sensible, affordable entry route to homeownership in an affluent part of Southport, with straightforward potential to increase equity over time by staircasing.
