A modern, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment finished in 2021, positioned close to Chichester city centre. The layout centres on a large open-plan kitchen-diner leading to a balcony, with two well-proportioned bedrooms and allocated off-street parking — a practical, low-maintenance home for downsizers or over-60s.
This property is available as a leasehold and is offered through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for over-60s. The guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £181,500 (indicative average saving c.33% versus the full market price of £275,000); actual price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased. The apartment is chain-free and has a long lease (996 years).
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and an average service charge of £1,394. There is no flood risk and local crime is low. Important considerations are the leasehold tenure and ongoing service charge; the Lifetime Lease option has eligibility and variable pricing rules that must be checked and confirmed for each buyer.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers aged 60+ seeking reduced purchase costs and security via a Lifetime Lease, or purchasers seeking a modern, low-upkeep investment or first buy close to Chichester’s amenities. Verify all tenure, pricing and service-charge details with your solicitor before committing.
