A tidy, modern two-bedroom top-floor apartment on the Renovo development — a practical route onto the ladder with 40% shared ownership. Built in 2020 by Bellway Homes, the flat still benefits from about five years of NHBC cover and a long lease of c.120 years.
The apartment is compact (c.471 sq ft) but well laid out with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that opens onto a private balcony, plus a utility cupboard, ensuite to the master and a contemporary family bathroom. Allocated off-street parking, lift access and well-kept communal greens add everyday convenience.
Location is a key strength: Chafford Hundred station and Lakeside Shopping Centre are within easy reach, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong — useful for commuters and working-from-home buyers. Note the monthly charge for the 40% share is £635 (includes service charge), so budget for ongoing rent plus any ground rent and service costs.
Be upfront about the negatives: the property sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation statistics, and the flat’s overall size is small compared with larger family homes. The tenure is leasehold (shared ownership) so purchasers should confirm lease, service charge and purchase costs with their solicitor before committing.
