Waterside living from just £35,000

Househunters who have dreamt of living by the water’s edge - but always put off by the premium that usually comes with it - finally have the opportunity thanks to Town & Country.

Through the New Build Homebuy scheme, first time buyers and those earning a salary less than £60,000 who are unable to buy without assistance for example due to lifestyle changes, may be eligible to purchase an apartment at The Wharf in Chatham where one bedroom apartments are now available from as little as £35,000 and two bedrooms from just £46,250.

Adrian Toms, Head of Town & Country Living comments: “Our New Build Home Buy scheme is designed to suit a wide variety of purchasers. We have already had interest from London executives who cannot afford to live in the city and are taking advantage of the fast train links from Chatham to London in under an hour.”

Purchasers can secure a property from as little as £35,000 which is 25% of the £140,000 price for a one bedroom apartment. A discounted rent is then payable on the remaining 75%. Those who have a little more money can purchase between 25% and 75% of the property and if their circumstances change can buy a bigger share in the property at a later date.

By using this scheme young buyers can get onto the property ladder and secure a property which they can invest more money into as they get older and can own outright if they wish. It is a fantastic way for first time buyers to get onto the property ladder! Those who are unsure about the scheme should call Town and Country’s Selling agents Cubitt and West to discuss if they are eligible.

Providing a collection of spacious one and two bedroom apartments, some with terraces and balconies overlooking the River Medway, the development is part of the historic former naval dockyard, home to a 300 berth marina supported by a range of new leisure and retail facilities.

Designed to an excellent specification the apartments feature fitted carpets, laminate flooring to the lounge/kitchen and boast a full range of integrated kitchen appliances including oven, hob, hood, a fridge/freezer and dishwasher plus a washer/dryer which in most apartments, is located in the hallway cupboard to keep noise to a minimum. All bathrooms and en-suites feature ceiling downlighters, Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware with Hansgrohe taps as well as ceramic floor and wall tiling. Each apartment also enjoys secure allocated parking.

The Wharf is well located on the outskirts of Chatham, providing easy access to the road networks. Plus a private shuttle coach leaves from The Quays to Chatham Station every 10 – 20 minutes.

Full prices start from £140,000 for a one bedroom apartment, just £35,000 through the New Build HomeBuy scheme and from just £46,250 for a 2 bedroom apartment priced at £185,000.
