A bright third-floor one-bedroom flat in a modern development, offered with an option for a Homewise Lifetime Lease for over-60s. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and double bedroom with built-in wardrobes deliver practical, low-maintenance living. Lift access, secure entry and one allocated parking space make day-to-day life straightforward.
This is a leasehold retirement-style property with a long lease (approx. 112 years) and an average service charge of £1,200pa plus a small ground rent of £200pa. The Homewise Home for Life option shows a guide Lifetime Lease price of £155,500 (based on an illustrative 33% saving); the full market price is £235,000. The actual Lifetime Lease price varies by age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%).
Practical considerations are clear: the area records higher crime levels, and the property sits within a major conurbation. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is off‑street allocated parking with visitor bays. Internally the flat is modern and well-insulated but aimed at downsizers or older buyers rather than families.
Overall this apartment suits an over-60 buyer seeking a manageable, modern home with secure access and parking, or a purchaser considering the Lifetime Lease route to reduce upfront cost. Verify all lease details, charges and the Homewise quotation before committing.
