A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment on the popular Rochester Riverside development, built in 2021. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner opens to a Juliet balcony, and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower. The home is compact at 636 sq ft but well arranged for modern urban living and includes allocated off-street parking.
This is offered as shared ownership (35% share at £110,250 with full market price £315,000). Monthly costs for the share include rent of £484.24 and a service charge of £69.23; the service charge is listed as below average at £828 pa. The lease is long (998 years) and tenure is leasehold — buyers should confirm all lease and service details with their solicitor.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to Rochester High Street and the high-speed station for commuter routes. Local schooling options range from primary to highly regarded secondary provision nearby. Be aware the location records very high crime levels and the wider area is classified as deprived; this may affect buyer priorities and insurance costs.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry on a new riverside development or a commuter wanting low-maintenance, modern accommodation with easy transport links. The shared ownership model reduces upfront capital but brings ongoing rent and leasehold responsibilities to factor into your budget.
