A Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price is shown at £182,000 (guide based on average saving), against the full market price of £275,000. The exact Lifetime Lease cost depends on age and personal circumstances; the plan lets buyers purchase up to a 50% share to protect value. Use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote to see likely savings.
The house has period character—bay windows and high ceilings—but some areas will benefit from updating. The kitchen and some decor show mid-century and dated finishes; cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and heating is gas boiler with radiators. Important services, fittings and any alterations should be independently verified.
Location is convenient for daily shops, schools and public transport, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The plot is relatively small and the property dates from the early 1900s, so prospective buyers should factor in routine maintenance and potential renovation costs alongside the favourable Lifetime Lease pricing option.
