Chain-free one-bed with long lease and Home for Life option for over‑60s.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with private balcony and off-street parking
A neat one-bedroom apartment with a private balcony and off-street parking, offered chain-free and with an exceptionally long lease (992 years). The building is modern, the open-plan living space connects to a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and the EPC rating is B — suitable for someone seeking low-maintenance retirement living in a town setting.
This property is being marketed with a Homewise Home for Life option for buyers aged 60+. The Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £100,500 (example saving of 33% against the full market price of £150,000) — actual price varies by age and circumstances. The plan allows purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard some equity; call Homewise or use their online calculator for a personalised quote.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters (no gas central heating) so running costs may be higher; ground rent is £380 pa and service charge is to be confirmed. The local area records higher crime levels and some area deprivation, which may affect suitability for buyers prioritising very low-crime neighbourhoods.
This is a straightforward, low-upkeep flat suited to an over-60 buyer wanting secure ownership options and easy access to local amenities and transport. The sale is chain-free and ready for occupation, but buyers should verify all tenure, service charge and utility details with their solicitor before committing.
