Lifetime-lease option cuts initial cost for eligible over-60s.
Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house
A compact two-bedroom semi in Gordon Road, offered chain-free and suitable for over-60s seeking a lower-cost home through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease. The full market price is £99,950; an indicative Lifetime Lease guide price for eligible buyers is £67,000 (typical savings c.33%, actual price depends on age and circumstances). The property needs modernisation but offers scope to personalise and improve value.
Set on a small plot with gardens front and rear, the house has double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with an open-plan lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. The layout suits someone seeking a manageable home with room to adapt.
Practical considerations are important: the area has high crime and significant deprivation indicators, and the property requires renovation throughout. Tenure is stated as freehold, and purchasers should verify all lease/tenure details and the exact Lifetime Lease terms. Council Tax is Band A, and there is no flood risk.
This property will appeal to downsizers or retirees wanting a lower-entry cost via Homewise’s shared-value model, and to buyers prepared to carry out updating. Early viewing is recommended for those interested in securing a lifetime-lease saving or a renovation project close to local amenities, parks and transport links.
