This property is being marketed as suitable for over-60s through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise, which typically reduces the upfront cost compared with full market value. Guide Lifetime Lease price shown here is £152,500 (illustrative saving of ~33% against the full market value of £230,000). Actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and any chosen share of value — use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote for an exact figure.
Practical details: the lease has about 106 years remaining, service charge is approximately £1,488 per year and ground rent is £125. Heating is by electric storage heaters so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The accommodation is modest in size (one bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom) — ideal for single occupants or couples who prioritise convenience over large living space.
Excellent local shops, leisure facilities (gym with pool next door) and transport links are within easy reach. Buyers should verify tenure, service charge terms and the Lifetime Lease arrangements, and note the property’s built date (late 1970s/early 1980s) and electric heating when assessing future running or renovation costs.
