Compact, low-maintenance first-floor maisonette with Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
First-floor purpose-built maisonette with communal gardens
Quietly positioned at the end of a walkway, this purpose-built first-floor maisonette offers a low-maintenance retirement option close to Crawley town centre. The property has a large lounge/diner, re-fitted kitchen with some integrated appliances and a luxury re-fitted shower room — ready to move into for someone seeking a compact, comfortable home.
This home is being offered with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+. The guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £139,000 (market value £210,000); actual Lifetime Lease cost varies with age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%). The plan can reduce the upfront cost compared with full market purchase but is only available to those aged 60 and over.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, communal gardens and gas central heating. Service charge and ground rent are modest (service charge approx. £300 and ground rent £33). The lease has around 82 years remaining — a material point to confirm with your solicitor.
Important drawbacks: the flat is very small (approx. 400 sq ft) and sits in an area assessed as deprived with above-average crime levels. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated; buyers should check insulation and any improvement costs. All tenure, lease and service details must be verified legally before purchase.
