Summary - 7 Elizabeth House, Locks Hill SS4 1FR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom flat with Home for Life option for buyers aged 60+.
Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, guide price £140,750 (market £210,000)
This two-bedroom, 603 sq ft flat sits in a contemporary development on Locks Hill and is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+. The Lifetime Lease guide price for eligible purchasers is £140,750 (market value £210,000); actual price varies by age and personal circumstances and can include purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard equity. The flat presents straightforward, manageable accommodation with good natural light and a communal rear space.
Internally the layout is practical and easy to run: boiler and radiators on mains gas, double glazing and modern exterior cladding mean running costs are modest and council tax sits in Band B. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and the location gives quick access to shops, transport links and green spaces. The property was built post-2012, with timber-frame construction and contemporary external finishes.
Notable negatives are material and should be checked: the immediate area is classified as deprived with higher local crime rates, and tenure/lease details must be verified by a solicitor (listed as leasehold; exact terms unknown). The flat is small and will suit buyers seeking compact, low-maintenance living rather than large-family accommodation. Some internal decor feels dated and may benefit from cosmetic updating.
This is best suited to an over-60 buyer seeking to downsize or secure a lifetime housing solution with reduced up-front cost through the Home for Life plan. It could also interest an investor aware of area challenges and the need for lettings due diligence. All measurements and legal details should be independently verified before purchase.
