Compact new-build apartment with parking and waterside access, ideal first-time buyers.
Shared ownership route onto the ladder with affordable minimum share options
A compact, modern two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offered as shared ownership — an accessible route onto the property ladder. The open-plan living space opens to a Juliette balcony, and the fitted kitchen includes oven, hob and hood. The flat is new-build with a very long lease (990 years) and an allocated off-street parking space.
Practical costs you should note: this is shared ownership so you will pay rent on the unsold share plus an annual service charge (listed at £1,382.64). There is a reservation fee of £500 and estimated monthly payments have been modelled for a 40% share. Council tax band is not yet determined for the new development.
Location strengths include nearby Outstanding and Good primary and secondary schools, a waterside path and canal lock for weekend walks, and generally very good mobile signal. The property sits in a largely affluent area and benefits from contemporary finishes, making it straightforward to move into.
Material negatives: the overall apartment is small at about 535 sq ft, and communal garden areas are currently overgrown and will need maintenance. Recorded local crime is above average — worth factoring into your viewings and local checks. Broadband speeds are average, which may matter if you work from home frequently.
