Summary - THE DOVE PIER, LOWER MALL W6 9DJ
1 bed 1 bath House Boat
Compact steel motor barge in prime Hammersmith mooring; cash buyers only.
Desirable Dove Pier mooring in central Hammersmith
A compact 2007 motor yacht barge moored at Dove Pier, Hammersmith, offering 411 sq ft of versatile floating living. The vessel combines robust steel construction with a well‑planned interior—suitable as a pied‑à‑terre, office or for river cruising. Mains water, metered electricity and a vacuum sewage connection are already in place for convenient living.
This is a specialist purchase best suited to a cash buyer. The boat holds an existing 10‑year residential licence with eight years remaining; after that the mooring will revert to an annual rolling tenure. Mooring charges are currently £876.98 per month. An out‑of‑water survey from April 2023 is available for review.
Practical advantages include solid metal build, compact but usable accommodation, and a desirable Hammersmith location close to pubs, restaurants and Hammersmith station. Important negatives you should consider: flood risk is high, broadband speeds are slow, local crime levels are reported as high, and most mortgage lenders will not lend on this non‑traditional vessel. Prospective buyers must be prepared to buy with cash and to manage ongoing mooring fees and potential maintenance.
If you value a unique river lifestyle in a central London location and can manage the tenure and purchasing constraints, this barge offers immediate occupancy, picturesque river outlooks and the flexibility of both cruising and static living.
