Affordable Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60 and over.
Two bedrooms in compact, easy-to-manage 582 sq ft layout
A compact two-bedroom flat offering practical, low-maintenance living in a retirement-friendly setting. The apartment has modern fittings, double glazing and a contemporary kitchen, making it largely move-in ready for a downsizer or retiree seeking straightforward accommodation.
This property is being promoted with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £120,500 (guide), versus the full market value of £180,000. Over-60s can typically access a Lifetime Lease saving (commonly 20–50%) and may buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital. Exact price depends on age and personal circumstances; confirm a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator for an indication.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to Basildon transport links and local shops. The building dates from c.1996–2002 and benefits from later double glazing, but the communal exterior and landscaping need attention and would benefit from simple maintenance or improvement.
Important points to verify: tenure/lease details are not confirmed (solicitor to check), heating relies on electric storage heaters, and the local area records very high crime and relative deprivation—factor these into suitability and insurance considerations. Overall, the flat suits an over-60 buyer seeking an affordable, low-upkeep home with the option to protect capital via a Lifetime Lease.
