Summary - LIDDELL COURT, 1 FLAT 1 FOXLEY HILL ROAD PURLEY CR8 2HD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact ground-floor apartment close to station and shops — low-maintenance living for over-65s.
One double bedroom with wet room and fitted kitchen
This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Liddell Court sits a short walk from Purley town centre and mainline station, offering convenience for age-restricted purchasers. The layout includes a double bedroom, wet room, lounge and fitted kitchen, with a communal garden, residents’ car park and lift for easy access. At about 440 sq ft the apartment is modest but functional, suited to someone seeking low-maintenance living close to shops, transport and local amenities.
Important practical considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 58–59 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders refuse loans on shorter leases, so purchasers should expect limited mortgage options or the need for specialist lenders. The sale will be conducted at auction and carries a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,000) plus document preparation costs; buyers should allow 56 days to complete and carry out their own due diligence.
There are additional ongoing costs: an annual service charge of about £1,296 and ground rent around £150. The building is generally maintained and the flat appears serviceable, but light modernisation would improve comfort and rental appeal. Note also a medium flood risk and a local area crime level described as very high — investigate insurance and personal safety measures before committing.
Overall this flat suits an older buyer wanting a compact, centrally located retirement apartment or an investor targeting low-value leasehold stock, provided they are comfortable with the short lease, auction conditions and the need for post-purchase checks.
