Get on to the property ladder with a new apartment at The Bridge

The Bridge

Tenants who long to buy their first home can make this dream a reality thanks to a fantastic shared equity scheme at Taylor Wimpey’s popular The Bridge development in Dartford, Kent.

First-time buyers can secure selected one or two-bedroom apartments at this sought-after community and only pay 75% of the property’s full purchase price.

Through the shared equity incentive, the leading housebuilder and Dartford Borough Council boost the purchaser’s deposit with a 25-year, interest-free equity loan covering up to 25% of the apartment’s price.

Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “There are many renters who think they’ll never be able to afford to buy a place of their own, but the fabulous shared equity scheme at The Bridge means this might not be the case.

“Apartment-buyers will find they require a much smaller loan-to-value mortgage than they would otherwise need because the equity loan can cover up to 25% of the apartment’s price – and the scheme removes the need for a big deposit!

“I would encourage anyone who is interested in find out more about this excellent initiative to come and visit us as soon as possible!”

There’s a range of impressive apartments available under the scheme, including the one-bedroom Plot 513 apartment, priced at £129,500. This impressive home features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a handy storage cupboard, while there’s allocated parking outside.

Meanwhile, the two-bedroom Plot 515 apartment, priced at £159,995, is also available under the shared equity scheme. The apartment features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a master bedroom, a guest bedroom and a main bathroom, with allocated parking space outside.

Part of the ongoing Thames Gateway regeneration, The Bridge development enjoys a peaceful position on the edge of Dartford and offers sensational views across the River Thames to the iconic QEII Bridge.

The community benefits from a new primary school, a nursery, youth centre, library and meeting rooms – all part of the Learning and Community Campus – plus 80 acres of public open space, parks and lakes. For those who work locally, there are excellent pedestrian and cycle routes.

Superb public transport from The Bridge includes Fastrack buses to Dartford, Greenhithe, Gravesend and Ebbsfleet International railway stations, which all offer regular services to London Bridge and Victoria, while the High Speed 1 rail link connects Ebbsfleet with frequent 18-minute trains to London St Pancras.

To be in with a chance of securing one of the new apartments at The Bridge using the shared equity scheme, home-hunters can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Brunel Way, via Bob Dunn Way, Dartford, Kent, DA1 5FR, and open daily from 10am to 5pm.
