Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 116 years remaining and an annual service charge of £10,240.93, which covers extensive communal services and facilities but is a significant ongoing cost. Ground rent is £435 per annum with the next review in 2031. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and parking in the development requires a permit (approximately £250 per year), although unrestricted on-street parking is available nearby.
Overall, No.15 will suit a buyer seeking an active, sociable retirement setting with strong onsite support and modern accommodation, provided they are comfortable with the higher service charge and leasehold costs.
