Summary - FORUM COURT, 80 APARTMENT 33 LORD STREET SOUTHPORT PR8 1JP
1 bed 2 bath Flat
Central, secure retirement living with strong communal facilities and lift access.
Large one-bedroom apartment with en-suite plus separate bathroom
This generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of Forum Court, a purpose-built retirement development in the heart of Southport. The flat offers practical, accessible living with lift access to all floors, excellent wheelchair access, a 24-hour duty manager and an on-site restaurant and communal lounges for social activities. The layout includes an entrance hall with storage, a large bedroom with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room, a separate main bathroom, a fitted kitchen and a light lounge.
The property is sold chain-free and comes with a long lease (approximately 116 years remaining) and no ground rent. Monthly running costs include a service charge of £758.90 and water rates of around £27; these cover building services, communal facilities and maintenance but make overall running costs higher than typical flats. There is gated car parking and well-kept communal gardens maintained by the development.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a secure, sociable town-centre base with on-site support and communal activities. The interior shows signs of dated finishes and would benefit from cosmetic updating to match personal tastes and modern standards. Buyers should note the building is in a high-crime, high-deprivation area, which may influence parking and security preferences despite gated access and on-site staff.
Financially, the long lease and lack of ground rent are positives, but the high service charge is a material cost to budget for. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising community facilities, ease of access and a central location over a completely modern interior.
