Retirement property for sale in Essex

There are many new homes to suit all tastes scattered throughout Essex and they are perfect for those looking to settle outside London where buyers can get a lot more space for their money and still get to the capital by road or rail quickly.

New homes buyers will find a range of properties from apartments to luxury family homes in the towns and villages across Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Waltham Abbey and Epping.

Road access to the county from London and into Suffolk and Cambridgeshire via the M11, M25, A13, A12 and A127 is excellent. Fast rail services for commuters run into London’s Liverpool Street and there is also the Central Line tube for some west Essex locations. Crossrail’s arrival in 2018 is set to boost the corridor leading to Shenfield considerably.

For families, there are many excellent schools, as well as the University of Essex, which is home to the Institute for Social and Economic Research.

  Monthly Budget
Our monthly budget search provides a monthly cost estimate for the different ownership options available to you. These range from ‘outright purchase’, ‘shared ownership’ and ‘rent’ options. As with any property purchase you should seek independent financial advice.

For outright purchase the monthly mortgage cost estimate is based on an interest only mortgage at a 5.95% annual interest rate, over 25 years with a 10% deposit.

For ‘shared ownership’ the monthly cost is based on an interest only mortgage rate of 5.95% per annum over 25 years with annual interest of 2.75% on the unsold share.

For ‘rent’ the monthly cost is based on the rental from the landlord or Build to Rent organisation who owns the property.
