Stratford Halo shared ownership apartment

One year free membership of a car club and access to 24 hour concierge are a selection of the services on offer at Stratford Halo, E15. As an iconic development in a prime location, this development offers a superior specification and amazing services that are not usually associated with shared ownership homes!

Situated in one of London’s most exciting new neighbourhoods, Stratford Halo is an exciting mixed use development situated just 500 metres from the Olympic Park. With prices starting at £53,125 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment, based on a full market value of £212,500, these properties provide a real opportunity for hotel style living at an affordable price!

The unique array of onsite services is available through the onsite management team, which provides access to a 24hour concierge service and a dedicated property manager. Management keys will be kept securely for all residents to assist with lock outs and deliveries. The team is also able to accept parcels and food deliveries and deliver them straight to resident’s apartments whilst they are at work. They also regularly patrol the development and monitor the CCTV.

A short term furniture rental service is also available, for example they can pay to hire items when guests are staying overnight, they’re having a dinner party or if they need a sofa for a few weeks before their new one arrives! Other optional facilities include a handyman, cleaning services, dry cleaning and laundry collection, all with an additional fee.

Designed for modern living, the one and three bedroom apartments are available in a variety of layouts. Each home has a spacious open plan living space and its own private balcony. Interiors are finished with a high quality specification, including designer kitchens complete with Bosch appliances, and wood-strip flooring and carpets. An added benefit is low energy costs as hot water is supplied by the Olympic District Heating System.

The development is set in fully landscaped communal gardens, which include striking water features, a riverside walkway and a children’s play area, providing an ideal place for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors.

Stratford has some of London’s best public transport links, so residents can enjoy a speedy commute into Central London, the City and Canary Wharf. It is served by the Jubilee and Central lines, the Docklands Light Railway and overland rail services, including the High Speed domestic rail link that will allow commuters to travel into Central London in just seven minutes. In future, Stratford will have a station on the Crossrail line, providing Eurostar services to Paris and Brussels.

Nearby is the recently opened Westfield Stratford City, Europe’s largest urban shopping centre. A host of other facilities and amenities, including schools, hotels, parks and health centres, are scheduled to be built as part of the comprehensive redevelopment of the area.

Shared ownership is a scheme designed to help buyers who cannot otherwise afford to purchase their first property. Buyers can purchase between 25% and 75% of a property and increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership.

The shared-ownership apartments are available to anyone who does not already own a property and is unable to buy a home on the open market. Their total annual household income must be less than £64,300 for one and two bedroom apartments and £77,200 for three bedroom homes. They should also have savings of about £3,500 to cover moving and legal costs.

Prices start from £53,125 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment, based on a full market value of £212,500.
