A well-presented three-bedroom ground-floor duplex on a modern riverside development, offered as suitable for retirement living.

This property is available through a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease pricing example of £264,500 (guide figure based on an average 33% saving against the £399,999 market price). The plan allows over-60s to buy a share up to 50% to safeguard capital; exact terms and price vary by age and personal circumstances. The lease remaining is very long (approximately 972 years).
Practical costs and considerations: the annual service charge averages £3,257 and council tax is above average. The local area records a very high crime statistic — buyers should verify local safety measures and personal priorities. The building was constructed in the 1980s, has double glazing and gas central heating; confirm appliance and system conditions in a survey.
This apartment will suit someone seeking an easy-riverfront retirement setting with generous living space and parking, who is comfortable with communal living costs and who values the financial flexibility of a Lifetime Lease purchase option.
