This home is offered with eligibility for a Home for Life Lifetime Lease for over-60s; a guide Lifetime Lease price for this property is £204,500 (market value £310,000). The plan typically reduces the purchase price by around 33% (savings vary by age and circumstances) and allows buyers to purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard capital. The flat has a long lease (circa 240 years) and allocated undercroft garage parking accessed via lift.
Practical costs to note: the property is leasehold with a service charge (c. £3,981 pa) and ground rent (c. £486 pa), and council tax is above average. The apartment’s 683 sq ft layout and communal setting suit downsizers or those seeking a low-upkeep riverside base rather than buyers wanting a large private garden or very low running costs.
For buyers over 60 the Lifetime Lease can make this attractive as a retirement or downsizing purchase; for others the full market price and standard leasehold costs apply.
