This property is being offered through a Lifetime Lease option for over-60s (Home for Life), which typically reduces the purchase price—guide Lifetime Lease price shown at £152,500 (market value £230,000). The plan lets buyers buy up to 50% of the property value to protect equity; exact saving depends on age and circumstances. Leasehold details: 992 years remaining; service charge currently around £2,448 pa; council tax described as cheap.
Be clear about the material drawbacks: the location has a high flooding risk and recorded above-average crime; the wider area shows signs of deprivation.
