A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in Atkins Square, built c.2012, offered as a 35% shared ownership opportunity. The south-facing open-plan reception and corner kitchen fill the 560 sq ft with daylight; engineered wood floors, double glazing and neutral finishes make the flat largely move-in ready. A private balcony accessed from both living room and bedroom extends the living space for relaxing or entertaining.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking affordable entry into Hackney/Dalston. Transport links are strong — Hackney Central and Hackney Downs are nearby — and local amenities, markets and green spaces such as Victoria Park are within easy reach. The block includes a residents’ gym and useful communal storage; service charge and ground rent are moderate for the area.
Important practical points: this is shared ownership (35% share priced at £143,500) with rent payable on the remaining 65% (£729.26 pcm shown). Leasehold basics are reasonable — about 112 years remaining — but there are ongoing costs: monthly service charge £219.25 and ground rent £300 pa. The area scores as very deprived with very high local crime levels, which may influence some buyers’ decisions.
Overall, the flat offers a cost-effective route into a well-connected, inner-city neighbourhood with modern finishes and outdoor space. It will appeal most to first-time buyers comfortable with shared ownership and inner-London living, or investors targeting rental demand in Hackney, but buyers should factor in the community heating arrangement, service charges and local safety statistics when deciding to view.
