Compact, low-maintenance ground-floor home near Ilford transport links.
Chain free ground-floor flat with communal gardens and resident permit parking
A compact, ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Manor Park, offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £165,500 for over-60s (market value £250,000). The building is well maintained and the flat opens onto a large communal garden, with resident permit parking and good bus links to Ilford and the Elizabeth Line — useful for regular travel.
Internally the accommodation is modest at about 381 sq ft, with a modern fitted kitchen and a separate lounge/diner. The layout suits a downsizer seeking low-stairs living and easy access to local shops, places of worship and community facilities. The flat is sold chain free and has around 90 years remaining on the lease.
Costs to note: an average service charge of about £1,400pa and a small ground rent (c. £10) apply. The Lifetime Lease scheme reduces the purchase price for qualifying over-60s; actual price paid varies with age and the percentage share chosen. Buyers should verify lease terms, service charge details and eligibility for the Homewise plan.
This property offers straightforward, low-maintenance retirement living close to transport links and local amenities. Space is limited, so it appeals most to one- or two-person households looking to downsize rather than those needing generous room sizes or long-term growth potential without further investment.
