This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Olympia Way is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60 and over. The Lifetime Lease price shown (£139,000) reflects a typical saving versus the full market value (£210,000); the exact price depends on age and personal circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard some capital. It’s chain-free and sits in a modern, purpose-built block with an allocated off-street parking space.
Internally the apartment is compact (approximately 437 sq ft) and finished in a contemporary style: an open-plan living/dining/kitchen, a principal bedroom with en-suite shower, and a separate family bathroom. The property is practical for low-step, ground-floor living and benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy road links towards Canterbury, Herne Bay and Whitstable town and seafront.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The tenure is leasehold with about 115 years remaining; service charges average £1,016 and ground rent about £300 per year. The home is marketed specifically through the Home for Life scheme to purchasers aged 60+, and the Lifetime Lease mechanics and savings should be checked with Homewise or your solicitor before committing. The area is generally affluent but local crime levels are above average, which some buyers will want to factor in.
Overall this is a sensible, low-maintenance retirement option for someone seeking ground-floor convenience, coastal access and the financial flexibility of a Lifetime Lease. Those wanting larger living space, full ownership at market price, or a property in a lower-crime pocket may prefer to compare alternatives first.
