This well-presented one-bedroom raised-ground apartment in Kidbrooke Village is offered as a 25% shared ownership share (full market value £330,000). The purchase price for the share is £82,500 with a monthly rent of £495.60 and a monthly service charge of £264.25 (approx. £3,171 annually). The flat extends to about 50 sq m (538 sq ft) and benefits from double glazing, an EPC rating of B and a long lease of 111 years remaining.
The open-plan living room and modern kitchen open onto a large private terrace, providing outdoor space and good natural light. The property sits within a mid-terrace modern block with communal gardens and excellent transport links, making it convenient for commuting. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the building was constructed between 2007–2011.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into a well-connected area, with nearby good and outstanding schools and local amenities. The shared ownership model reduces upfront cost while the long lease and decent EPC rating offer reasonable security of tenure and running costs.
Considerations: occupants will pay ongoing rent and service charges that meaningfully increase monthly costs. The wider area scores as deprived, so buyers should weigh local regeneration prospects and resale demand. The property is leasehold with communal services and maintenance managed through the service charge.
