A bright two-bedroom flat offered as 25% shared ownership, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into Southport. The living space of around 641 sq ft includes a sunlit lounge with a feature fireplace and Juliette balcony, a stylish fitted kitchen and a modern three-piece bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and a sun-catching communal garden add practical outdoor space.
The location is convenient for daily life: Southport town centre, shops, cafés, Hesketh Park and the promenade are within easy reach. Transport links are strong with Southport train station nearby and good bus routes to Preston and Liverpool. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are close, which supports family plans and future resale appeal.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 107 years remaining and sold via 25% shared ownership — you will pay rent on the unsold share. Service charge is £149 (below average) but the ground rent figure listed is very high at £3,744 and requires clarification before purchase. The local area records higher crime levels and is classed as deprived, which could affect insurance costs and wider resale perceptions.
Overall, the flat suits buyers who prioritise location and affordability via shared ownership and who are comfortable managing leasehold costs and local area considerations. A viewing will show how the accommodation and communal grounds match practical needs; check the ground rent terms and any management arrangements before committing.
