This property is being offered with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £185,500 (market value £280,000). The actual price depends on age and circumstances; the scheme allows purchasing up to a 50% share to protect future value. Leasehold terms include about 118 years remaining.

Be aware of the property’s small overall size and the local area’s higher crime statistics, which may concern some buyers. The Lifetime Lease can reduce upfront cost substantially, but buyers should confirm how the scheme affects resale, inheritance and overall long-term value with their solicitor.
