Wanted to buy: retirement flat


lastminute.mum

Recommended Posts

My parents are thinking about moving back to the Big Smoke from Up North and are looking to buy a 1-2 bedroomed retirement flat locally (East Dulwich/Herne Hill/Sydenham/Crystal Palace).


They're not always that easy to find and I suspect some aren't generally advertised. If you haven't come across this market before, they're generally much cheaper than flats on the open market, but with restrictions on the age of the inhabitants (typically must be over 55 or 60) and much higher service charges (?2K plus per annum).


Does anyone happen to know of anyone looking to sell?


I'm particularly interested in Dulwich Mead (on Half Moon Lane), Jews Walk (in Sydenham), Church Road (Crystal Palace).


Also, any experiences of any of the properties would be much appreciated.


Thanks!

    • @Alice if left might have been stolen/taken by someone (peed on by a dog or fox), also there are some little things attached of - I assume - sentimental value. I hope the owner can claim them. Will leave a note indeed with info how to retrieve them, though not with a private phone number in a public space 😅 Maybe a friend of a friend will come across this post on EDF.  @embob97 They do have a ring, sorry. 
    • Agree but not so great for the independently owned cafes shops etc.
    • My husband goes to the newish one near the Watchpolisher on Lordship Lane.(sorry cant remember name-) I can assure you they're not 'fake'  He started going there because his excellent long-term barber had to rent a chair there when the shop he used to work from in Forest Hill closed. I think one needs to be careful when making statements like that above as it can damage reputable buisnesses. Also I should add the Barbers I mention always seems to be busy
    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
