This property is offered as a 30% shared ownership option (30% share £96,000; monthly rent £586) or purchasers can buy at full market value. Tenure is leasehold with c.120 years remaining and no ground rent. Buyers should budget for an annual service charge of approximately £2,109 (around £175/month) and a moderate council tax band.
Practical considerations are important: the building is in an area with higher crime levels, and the flat is average in overall size (618 sq ft). The location is commuter-friendly with the town centre and train station very close, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. This makes the home well-suited to first-time buyers seeking affordability through shared ownership, and buy-to-let investors targeting Dartford’s rental market, though higher local crime and ongoing service charges affect running costs and appeal.
