This modern one-bedroom flat in the Taper Building offers a practical step onto the property ladder via shared ownership (minimum 35% share). Built in 2018 and arranged as an open-plan first-floor apartment, the 538 sq ft layout benefits from large windows and a south‑east facing private balcony that deliver good daylight throughout the day.
Residents have access to on-site amenities including a communal gym, well-kept communal gardens, lift access and a 24-hour concierge, which add convenience and security. The building sits between Bermondsey and London Bridge with strong transport links and many local cafés, markets and shops within walking distance — suitable for city commuters or anyone seeking central urban living.
Be clear about the tenure and running costs: the property is leasehold (117 years remaining) and sold as shared ownership, with heating supplied by a community scheme. Council tax is described as low, but the wider area is classed as deprived and has average crime levels, which may matter to some buyers.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting a modern, low-maintenance city base with communal facilities and good transport access. There is reasonable room to personalise the interior, but buyers should be comfortable with shared ownership rules and ongoing service charges associated with communal amenities.
