Summary - 12, OAKDENE, LANSDOWN ROAD GL51 6PX
2 bed 2 bath Retirement Property
Well-presented two-bedroom retirement flat in Montpellier — chain free but short lease.
Chain free retirement apartment, ready to move into
A well-presented, purpose-built over-60s apartment in the heart of Montpellier, Oakdene offers comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation with a central location close to shops, cafés and parks. The flat has been upgraded in recent years and benefits from a refitted kitchen, two bathrooms (one en suite), double glazing and a generous living/dining room that receives good natural light.
Practical features include residents and visitor parking, well-kept communal gardens and a residents’ lounge, making this a low-maintenance option for downsizers seeking a social retirement setting. The property is offered chain free and has modern finishes throughout, so it is move-in ready for the next owner.
Important leasehold information: the lease has 63 years remaining. This is materially below typical lender thresholds and many mortgage providers may refuse lending; buyers should obtain specialist advice and consider cash purchase or a lease-extension quotation. The property is subject to an annual service charge of approximately £3,604 and is owned by a housing association freeholder (Sanctuary). Electric storage heating is installed — convenient but potentially costly compared with gas.
Overall this apartment suits a purchaser seeking a central, comfortable retirement home with minimal renovation required, but buyers must factor in lease length, service charges and heating costs when assessing affordability and future resale potential.
