A first-floor one-bedroom apartment offered with Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease — available to purchasers aged 60 and over who can typically save 20–50% off full market price. Guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £120,500 (market value £180,000); the exact price depends on age, circumstances and any share of the property you choose to safeguard. The plan allows purchase of up to 50% of the property value to protect future housing security.
The flat sits within a Victorian semi‑detached building and provides a bright lounge, double bedroom, separate kitchen and modern shower room with separate WC. The home benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for staying connected and comfortable.
Buyers should note material points: tenure is listed as leasehold but must be independently verified; walls are original solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation; décor is dated in places and some refurbishment may be needed. The local area is described as very deprived with very high crime levels, though the location is handy for shops, healthcare, schools and the seafront. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
This property suits an over‑60 buyer wanting a lower up‑front cost via a Lifetime Lease, or an investor seeking a straightforward one‑bed in a well‑connected urban area (verify lease and consents first). Confirm all legal details and service arrangements before committing.
