This second-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment at Palm Court is offered as a 70% shared-ownership interest, with Anchor Housing Association retaining the remainder. At about 550 sq ft the home is compact and practical, suited to someone looking to downsize while keeping an independent lifestyle. The development provides communal benefits including a resident estate manager, lounge, guest suite, laundry and 22 off-street parking spaces.
The location sits between Oxton and Claughton villages with good public transport links to Birkenhead and Liverpool, nearby shops and green space at Birkenhead Park. The apartment has double glazing, electric storage heating and a traditional internal layout that will suit straightforward modernisation rather than structural alteration.
Important considerations are factual and significant: this is leasehold with around 68 years remaining and is offered on a shared-ownership basis — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on the short lease. Service charge and ground rent details are currently unspecified. The area scores as very deprived with a high local crime rating, which may affect resale and rental prospects.
This property is aimed at a purchaser seeking the social support and convenience of a retirement community — someone who values onsite management, communal facilities and a small, low-maintenance home. It presents an affordable entry point into community living but requires buyers to accept shared ownership, limited lease length and the local area context.
