This compact two-bedroom flat in Benfleet offers a low-maintenance retirement option close to shops and transport. At about 551 sq ft it suits downsizers who want manageable living space with good broadband and mobile signal. The building is modern (circa 1996–2002) and presents a neutral, contemporary interior throughout.
The property is being marketed with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £174,250 for eligible over-60s — a typical saving versus the full market price of £260,000. The exact Lifetime Lease price varies by age and circumstances; purchasers should use the Homewise calculator and obtain personalised quotes to confirm costs and share options (up to 50% safeguard available).
Practical points are important: the flat uses electric room heaters (no community gas) which can increase running costs, and tenure/lease details must be legally checked as they are stated as unknown. The property is described as suitable for retirement living, with a small landscaped garden and easy-to-manage interior, but note the area records above-average crime statistics. Buyers should verify all dimensions, fixtures, and the leasehold status through their solicitor before committing.
For downsizers seeking convenience and reduced capital outlay via a Lifetime Lease, this flat is a straightforward, low-upkeep option close to local amenities, schools and transport links. If you are not eligible for Homewise, the full market price is shown and the property remains available through standard purchase routes.
