Head South: Southwark properties offer
Purchasers looking to capitalise on the next property hotspot should take a look at the exciting new apartments coming soon from Family Mosaic, located in London’s historic, yet highly cosmopolitan area of Southwark, SE1.
Located in an area set to benefit from £1.5 billion regeneration, there are two different contemporary developments available. The Cutler Apartments is a collection of 7 one bedroom and 4 two bedroom apartments located on New Kent Road, while Harper Square includes 7 one bedroom, 6 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom apartments on nearby Harper Road. Most importantly, these properties are all available through shared ownership, making this exciting prime location truly affordable.
Southwark really is one of London’s hottest spots, an amazing blend of ancient and ultra-contemporary, tradition and cool. With must-see attractions such as Tate Modern, Tower Bridge, the Southbank Centre and Shakespeare’s Globe, iconic architecture including City Hall and The Shard tower, and its own Gothic cathedral, Southwark is a hub of culture and cutting-edge urban planning.
Borough Market, the famous George Inn – the last 17th-century galleried inn in London – and a plethora of superb eateries and bars, make it a Mecca for food-lovers. And its traffic-free, endlessly fascinating riverside walkways that stretch from Tower Bridge to Westminster Bridge, offer the best views of London, with panoramas of the Tower, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.
Add to this the superb transport hub of London Bridge Station, a new pedestrianised town centre, market square and 450,000sqft of additional retail space planned for Elephant & Castle, more green space and improved cultural and leisure facilities thanks to the regeneration project, it’s no wonder that Southwark is the place to live in London.
Cutler Apartments and Harper Square are perfectly placed to make the most of all that Southwark has to offer. Just a stone’s throw from both Elephant & Castle and Borough High Street, yet set in a leafy area off the main thoroughfares, both developments offer the perfect blend of style and convenience.
In both developments, each apartment is finished to the high specification that is the hallmark of Family Mosaic properties; kitchens include an electric oven, hob and extractor hood, integrated fridge/freezer and washer/dryer and under-cabinet lighting. Bathrooms come with a thermostatic shower over bath, while bedrooms will have built-in wardrobes and are fully carpeted.
“There has never been a more exciting time to buy property in Southwark,” says Lauren Nicholson, Head of Marketing at Family Mosaic. “With its unique blend of fascinating history and cool city living, Southwark offers something for all tastes. Best of all, our brilliant range of apartments in the area makes Southwark a genuinely affordable option.
“Family Mosaic has a long-standing commitment to providing the best for residents in the area: one of our most successful developments is Esprit, a collection of 89 one- and two-bedroom homes that occupy eight floors of the 42-storey Strata Tower, the landmark centrepiece of Elephant & Castle.”
Properties at Cutler Apartments and Harper Square are being made available under shared ownership. This means that you buy the share of your home that you can afford, and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share of the property. You start by buying as little as 35%, and you can increase your share by 10% at any time, all the way to 100%. To be considered for the scheme, you will need to be earning less than £60,000 a year and either living or working in the London Boroughs of Southwark, Bexley, Lewisham, Bromley and Greenwich. Additional priority is given to council and Housing Association tenants.
Prices at Cutler Apartments start from £82,250 for a 35% share of a one bedroom apartment with a full market value of £235,000. For further information, visit familymosaicsales.co.uk.
