Summary - 42 BELLINGHAM CRESCENT PLYMOUTH PL7 2QP
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Lifetime lease option offers substantial savings for buyers aged 60 plus.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approximately 469 sq ft
A ground-floor two-bedroom flat offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option aimed at buyers aged 60 and over. The property is compact at around 469 sq ft, with a small garden and a garage providing useful outdoor space and private parking. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and the neighbourhood records very low crime.
The Homewise guide price for the Lifetime Lease is £100,500 (typical saving around 33% versus the full market price of £150,000). The plan allows purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to protect some capital, but the exact price depends on age and individual circumstances — non-qualifying buyers can seek the full market price. Tenure and legal details should be verified by a solicitor.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and the exterior and some internal pictures indicate the property will benefit from modernisation. This creates potential to personalise the space, but also means buyers should budget for updating and factor in any additional works. Overall size is small, so the flat best suits a downsizer or retiree seeking a lower-maintenance home rather than a family needing larger living areas.
Local amenities include nearby leisure facilities and a playground, with several primary and secondary schools in the wider area. The property sits in a settled urban neighbourhood with good digital connectivity and low local crime, but buyers should confirm all property specifics, energy and service details during due diligence.
