Shared Ownership at Dockside : Known as one of London’s most exclusive areas, Canary Wharf has become a highly desirable location for many home hunters across the world, however, renting or buying a property in this iconic district brings with it a premium price tag. City renters can expect to pay an average monthly rent of £2,128 for a one-bedroom apartment[1], and purchasers will need an average deposit of more than £51,000[2]. For city lovers determined to secure their dream home and lead a London lifestyle for less, Notting Hill Genesis’ premier collection of Shared Ownership apartments at Dockside at Millharbour offers a more affordable opportunity to step into a stylish city pad using a lower-level deposit. Furthermore, first time buyers can take advantage of a £1,000 contribution towards moving costs for reservations this April^.
Notting Hill Genesis’ Shared Ownership scheme provides the option of purchasing a percentage of a home’s value, usually between 25% and 75%, while paying a subsidised rent on the remaining share. The lower deposit level, means buyers need only put down a deposit on the share they purchase and not the full market value of the property. Purchasers at Dockside can secure a one-bedroom apartment using a deposit of just £12,375* and monthly costs are estimated to total £1,399 including mortgage, rent and service charge. Buyers can also choose to purchase additional shares on their property as and when they can afford to, right up to 100%.
Set within a beautifully landscaped courtyard in the heart of London, Dockside at Millharbour enjoys a tranquil setting within one of the capital’s most dynamic waterside postcodes. Whilst occupying a prime central London location, residents here can enjoy access to a well-balanced environment. For a day of exploring and retail therapy, the buzz of central London’s thriving atmosphere and variety of retailers, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues less than half an hour away. Nearer to home, there is an abundance of open green spaces that surround the development, delivering an exceptional standard of living for less.
James Munson, Head of Marketing at Notting Hill Genesis comments: “Shared Ownership gives first time buyers the opportunity to buy a home an area of London that would otherwise be unaffordable. The lower-level deposits required through Shared Ownership can help offset some of the costs associated with living in higher value areas such as waterside districts that surround Canary Wharf and combined with our offer of £1,000 towards the cost of moving – can help to realise the home ownership aspirations of those who want to make this part of London their home.”
