Summary - 20 PRIESTLEY COURT, PALMERS DRIVE, GRAYS RM17 5RX
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Well-presented, low-maintenance flat in a sociable over-55s development.
First-floor one-bedroom apartment, 437 sq ft, vacant and ready to move in
A bright, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in a popular over-55s development, ready for immediate occupation. The apartment has a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a well-presented bathroom, and fitted bedroom wardrobes — all arranged across a compact 437 sq ft layout that’s easy to maintain.
The development offers communal facilities suited to independent retirement living: a resident site manager, communal lounge, communal gardens and off-street parking. The property is vacant, so it suits buyers wanting a quick move-in or those seeking a straightforward buy-to-let aimed at older tenants.
Buyers should note two important financial considerations: the lease has 60 years remaining and many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term. The service charge is approximately £345/month (above average) which covers communal upkeep and facilities. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, this apartment is a low-maintenance retirement home with practical communal support and parking, but the short lease and ongoing service charge should be factored into purchase plans and financing options.
