- Sixteen high-quality new homes available at a discounted price for first time buyers living or working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets
- Stylish one or two-bedroom apartments within the heart of Wapping’s evolving London Dock neighbourhood
- The homes form part of London Dock’s Saffron Wharf collection and are ready to move into
St George, a proud member of the Berkeley Group, in partnership with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, has launched its final sixteen one and two-bedroom apartments within its Saffron Wharf collection at London Dock – available exclusively to qualifying local first time buyers.
Ready to move into today, these one and two-bedroom apartments are available at a discount below market value, a game-changing initiative designed to support local residents and workers secure high-quality homes in one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Situated within Saffron Wharf, a striking nine-storey building at the heart of London Dock, these apartments have been designed with industrial style fixtures and fittings throughout – taking inspiration from the area’s rich dockside heritage.
Each apartment features spacious open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, electric underfloor heating and high-quality finishes throughout. Many homes also benefit from private balconies or terraces.
The modern open plan kitchens come with integrated appliances and feature timber-effect flooring, graphite coloured kitchen cupboard doors and white marble-effect worktops. Each bathroom has a bespoke basin and wall mounted mirrored vanity unit, Crittall style black framed bath screens and metal effect black brassware.
The launch of these homes comes at a positive time for those looking to get on the property ladder in London as analysis by Rightmove suggests that a first-time buyer in London could be looking at a saving of £240 per month on a mortgage compared with this time last year.
With these final homes at Saffron Wharf, also available below the current stamp duty land tax threshold, it presents a great opportunity for those looking to exit the rental market and purchase an exceptional new home below market value.
First time buyer at London Dock, Gordon Readman, who purchased through the discount market sale scheme, said, “When I first started looking to buy, I’d stopped considering new builds because they always seemed out of reach, the prices were either ‘on application’ or ‘to be confirmed’, and never affordable. But at London Dock, the discount market sale option made buying possible. It’s surprising how quiet and peaceful it can be despite being just minutes from Tower Bridge and the City. I walk to work in Liverpool Street, the location is incredible.”
If you purchase a new home at Saffron Wharf you will have access to everything on offer at London Dock. This includes ‘The Club’, hotel-style residents’ facilities which include a fully-equipped gym, squash court, virtual golf suite and swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, and a treatment room. Residents also have exclusive access to a state-of-the-art private screening room and a 24-hour concierge service.
In addition to the existing amenities, St George is bringing to life the 6,000 sq ft Mauretania Lounge – a new travel inspired, exclusive residents space that includes an impressive central staircase that frames a double-height, floor-to-ceiling aquarium, lounge areas, co-working space, bar and a private dining room - the perfect setting to host friends, family, and neighbours.
London Dock is a bustling and established neighbourhood with over 2,000 people now calling it home. Boasting a growing mix of retailers and restaurants, it is a place to enjoy from day to night. Its offering includes laid-back Australian coffee shop Urban Baristas, Wapping Sourdough bakery, the capital’s new top spot for Neapolitan sourdough pizza, Motherdough, and artisanal drinks specialist Champagne Route. Residents and visitors alike can also access fitness classes at E1 CrossFit and Club Pilates, and medicine and healthcare at City Dock Pharmacy.
London Dock is a short walk from Zone 1 transport connections, including Tower Hill and Aldgate East tube stations and the Elizabeth Line at Whitechapel.
There are just sixteen homes available for first time buyers within the Saffron Wharf collection at London Dock, which includes 11 one-bedroom apartments and 5 two-bedroom apartments. Prices start from £255,000*. These homes will be showcased during two Open Weekends on 18-19 and 25-26 October, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to speak to the Sales team and a Financial Advisor, and explore what London Dock has to offer.
