Summary - 16 Liddell Drive SS14 3PF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Low-maintenance two-bedroom home with retirement purchase options and local amenities.
Lifetime Lease example price £194,250 for buyers aged 60+ (indicative)
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached home in Basildon, offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for buyers aged 60+. The advertised Lifetime Lease guide price is £194,250 (indicative, based on an average 33% saving); full market value is £290,000. The plan can allow purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; actual price depends on age and circumstances and should be checked with the Homewise calculator or a personalised quote.
Internally the house is modern and low-maintenance: built c.2007–2011, double glazed, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a clean, contemporary finish throughout. The accommodation is compact (around 602 sq ft) with a lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom — suited to downsizers or those seeking a small, manageable retirement home rather than large-family living.
Practical points to check: the listing includes contrasting tenure details and buyers must verify legal title, lease/tenure, and any fixtures or planning history with their solicitor. The neighbourhood scores poorly on local crime statistics and the immediate plot and overall house are small, so buyers wanting more outdoor space or a quieter area should investigate further.
This property suits an over-60 buyer seeking an affordable, low-upkeep home close to local amenities and good primary/secondary schools, or someone looking to secure part of the value through a Lifetime Lease. It offers straightforward, modern accommodation with potential for sensible cosmetic updates rather than major renovation.
