This three-bedroom terraced house in Paignton offers a practical retirement move with a low-maintenance rear garden and useful internal space across two storeys. At about 1,082 sq ft the layout provides separate living areas and three bedrooms — suitable for homeowners wanting room for visitors or a hobby space. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, useful for staying connected.
A key financial option is the Home for Life Lifetime Lease: eligible buyers aged 60+ can purchase a share of the property (up to 50%) and typically pay a reduced lifetime-lease price rather than full market value. The example Lifetime Lease guide price here is £144,000 (market value £215,000), though the exact price depends on age and personal circumstances and should be confirmed via a personalised quote or the Homewise calculator.
The house does require updating and cosmetic work: the property is described as dated and in need of some repair. The area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, which will matter for lifestyle and resale considerations. Tenure details are not confirmed and should be verified by your solicitor before purchase.
This home suits someone over 60 looking to downsize or secure part-ownership via a Lifetime Lease, who is comfortable with a property needing modest renovation and wants good digital connectivity and a manageable garden. Verify all details, including tenure and any required consents, before proceeding.
