This property is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £155,000 for buyers aged 60+, typically reflecting a 20–50% saving compared with the full market price (£235,000). The exact Lifetime Lease price depends on an individual’s age and circumstances and can include purchasing up to 50% of the property value to safeguard equity. If not using the Lifetime Lease, the property is available at the full market price.
Practical details suit retirement living: mains gas central heating, double glazing, below-average service charge (£387), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Local amenities are a short walk away, plus good rail links to Ashford and Folkestone and easy road connections to the M20.
Noteable issues to check before buying: the building is timber framed and assumed to have no insulation (buyer to verify), and the property sits in a medium flood-risk area. There is a single bathroom and the apartment may benefit from some updating to maximise thermal comfort and long-term running costs.
