This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Portslade offers practical, low-stepped living tailored to over-60s seeking independence and value. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner is bright with patio doors to a private courtyard, and the generous hallways provide abundant storage — useful for downsizing without losing belongings.
Both bedrooms are notably spacious for a retirement flat, and the property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a modern mid-terrace build (2007–2011). The 112-year lease and modest ground rent mean tenure is secure, and the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option can reduce the upfront purchase price for eligible buyers.
Be clear about the ongoing costs and local context: average service charges of around £2,000pa and a ground rent of £150pa apply. The area records higher-than-average crime rates and sits in a very deprived local authority area, which may concern some buyers or affect resale expectations. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
This property is currently tenanted and presents an income opportunity for investors, but it also suits retirees wanting a low-maintenance, ground-floor home close to local shops, bus routes and community amenities. Buyers should verify all details, including personalised Home for Life pricing, service charge inclusions and tenancy terms before committing.
