This two-bedroom new-build apartment (795 sq ft) offers a contemporary, energy-efficient home close to Stratford’s transport hub. The open-plan living, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a full private balcony create a bright social space. Both bedrooms have Juliet balconies; the principal benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en‑suite shower. Completions begin Winter 2025 and the sale is chain-free.
The development provides useful communal facilities: gym, concierge and a working-from-home hub, plus landscaped podium gardens. A 10-year NHBC Buildmark and a 999-year lease give long-term security, and first-time buyer Stamp Duty relief may reduce upfront costs. Short walks to Pudding Mill DLR and one stop to Stratford International mean excellent links for commuting and rail connections.
Buyers should note the material downsides plainly: the area is described as deprived with a high local crime level, and the annual service charge is sizeable at around £3,163.71. Council tax banding is still to be confirmed. This apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance new-build living with good transport access, and who is comfortable living in an inner-city, high-density neighbourhood.
Overall this is a practical option for first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in, energy-efficient home near Stratford’s interchange, or investors targeting new-build rental demand — but factor in ongoing service charges and local area considerations before committing.
