This property is offered through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £107,250 (market value £160,000). The Lifetime Lease lets you buy a percentage share (up to 50%) to safeguard funds; actual price and saving depend on your age and circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer to buy outright, the market price is shown as £160,000. Buyers must use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote to confirm exact figures.
Practical points to check: heating is electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas heating; confirm service and communal charges for the retirement block and verify tenure details and any share of freehold claims with your solicitor. The building dates from the 1980s and is in a well-kept, modern style, but purchasers should confirm condition and any works required before committing.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upkeep retirement apartment offering good access to local amenities and transport. It will suit an over-60 buyer looking to reduce day-to-day maintenance and free up capital, provided you are comfortable with electric heating and you verify tenure, charges and personalised Homewise terms.
