This is a genuine turnkey retirement purchase. Every major item has already been done: new kitchen, new bathroom, new flooring, new doors, new heating and electrics throughout. You're not buying a project, you're buying a finished flat on the second floor of Vyner House, reached by lift or stairs, comprising entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, utility space, bathroom and double bedroom.

This one's aimed squarely at the over-55s downsizer, or a family helping a parent move somewhere lower-maintenance and better supported. Vyner House gives you a warden on-site with Monday morning checks as standard (daily if you want them), a communal lounge and free laundry room, and gardens with mature fruit trees. There's a dedicated garage for electric scooters with sockets, plus car parking. If low-maintenance, sociable, supported living is what you're after, this ticks it without a premium price tag attached.
