Affordable Lifetime Lease option for over-60s near shops and good schools.
Freehold, chain-free three-bedroom house with rear garden
A practical three-bedroom semi offering strong value and a clear retirement option. The property is freehold, chain-free and presented with double glazing and a rear garden, making it suitable for someone looking to personalise a compact home close to local shops, transport and several well-rated schools.
This house is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £175,500 for over-60s (guide only). The full market price is £265,000; the actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and the chosen share of the property (up to 50%). The plan can reduce upfront cost significantly for eligible buyers seeking security and future flexibility.
The interior requires full updating throughout and is modest in size (approximately 641 sq ft). There is scope to add value — for example, creating a driveway subject to planning — but buyers should expect refurbishment costs to modernise the kitchen, shower room and general decor. Heating is by electric boiler and radiators.
Important considerations: the area has high crime levels and is assessed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and insurance. The home is best suited to purchasers prepared to accept a smaller footprint and to invest in renovation, or to over-60s looking for the Lifetime Lease affordability option.
