A practical, modern two-bedroom shared ownership apartment on the second floor, built 2021 and designed for low-maintenance urban living. The open-plan living area opens to a private balcony, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite — useful for families or two sharers. Off-street communal parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and commuting.
This is a 35% shared ownership offer: £103,250 buys a 35% share of the £295,000 full value. Monthly outgoing costs include rent approximately £499.36pcm, a service charge of about £151pcm (c. £1,812pa) and council tax at Band D. Minimum deposit shown is £10,325; prospective buyers should confirm affordability including rent and service charge together with mortgage options.
Location strengths are practical: a short walk to Ebbsfleet International for fast rail to London, Cherry Orchard Primary nearby (Outstanding), local shops and planned community facilities. Downsides to note are the leasehold/shared ownership tenure, the ongoing rent and service charge commitments, and that the wider area records high deprivation levels which may affect resale for some buyers.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a modern, low-upkeep home with good transport links and a modest deposit requirement. It also offers potential for cost-effective entry into the area’s improving market, but buyers must factor shared-ownership rules and monthly housing costs into their long-term plans.
