Ground-floor flat with lift access and easy communal garden access
Under-floor heating and double glazing for comfort and efficiency
Long lease (108 years) and no upward chain for quicker completion
Resident/visitor parking included; communal maintenance covers exterior upkeep
Located in a very deprived area with above-average crime figures
Not suitable for buyers seeking full ownership or those needing a private garden
A ground-floor, two-double-bedroom retirement flat offered as 75% shared ownership, designed for low-maintenance living within an over-55s complex. The open-plan living/kitchen and accessible shower room make daily life straightforward, while under-floor heating and double glazing add comfort and energy efficiency.
The development includes communal gardens, resident parking and a lift, providing ease of access and pleasant outdoor space without garden upkeep. The property comes with a long lease (108 years remaining) and is offered with no upward chain, meaning a quicker move-in process for buyers who qualify for shared ownership.
Location is practical: roughly three miles from Walsall town centre with good bus and rail links, and motorway access nearby for visits to Wolverhampton or wider services. Buyers should note the wider area shows signs of social and economic challenge and recorded crime is above average; this may affect perceptions and resale dynamics.
This apartment suits a purchaser seeking an affordable, low-fuss home for later life rather than a make-over project. It’s finished to a tidy standard but sits within a very deprived neighbourhood; prospective buyers should view in person to assess the communal environment and parking convenience before committing.
