Get onto the property ladder with shared equity at The Bridge

Aspiring homeowners who dream of getting onto the property ladder can purchase a fabulous apartment of their own through a popular shared equity incentive which is available exclusively at Taylor Wimpey’s The Bridge development in Dartford.

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: “For many who are renting or still living at home, it’s easy to assume that buying their first home is a dream which they simply can’t afford to turn into a reality.

“This fantastic shared equity scheme which is being offered in partnership with the local council liberates those frustrated would-be buyers and puts them in a position where they really can afford to get onto the property ladder.

“Our beautiful brand new homes at The Bridge are maintenance free and offer significant potential savings on energy bills compared with other properties – so this is an opportunity that first-time buyers won’t want to miss!”

There’s a range of impressive apartments available under the scheme, including the one-bedroom Plot 564 apartment, priced at £118,000. This impressive home features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a bedroom, a bathroom and convenient storage cupboard, and outside the property benefits from an allocated parking space.

Meanwhile the two-bedroom Plot 508 apartment, priced at £154,995, is also available under the shared equity scheme. The apartment features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room with two attractive balconies, an en-suite master bedroom, a guest bedroom and a main bathroom, with an 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.
