This two-bedroom apartment in Heald Farm Court, Newton-le-Willows, is marketed as a shared ownership property exclusively for those aged 55 or over. The property itself is presented as a ground-floor apartment within a modern development. The photos reveal a functional living space, with a reasonably well-equipped kitchen and a simple bathroom. The internal finish appears dated in places, potentially requiring some modernisation to meet individual tastes and preferences. The apartment benefits from access to communal gardens which are well-maintained. The development’s location offers convenience, being relatively close to Earlestown train station and several well-regarded primary schools. However, the shared ownership scheme is a key consideration. It limits the percentage of property ownership to 50%, requiring ongoing rent and service charge payments, which total a significant additional monthly cost. The lack of a private garden is another aspect to consider, as is the age restriction on residency. Prospective buyers should carefully weigh these factors against the advantages of convenient location, relatively affordable entry price, and access to communal outdoor space.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
