Practical details to note: this is a 75% shared ownership leasehold (125-year term from 2014) with 111 years remaining. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the building has double glazing; council tax is band B. Broadband and mobile signal are reported strong in the area.
Be candid about location and tenure: the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime rates, which may concern some buyers and affect resale. Shared ownership and leasehold arrangements mean buyers should review the lease terms and any service or management charges carefully before committing.
