Whitby House offers sophisticated Docklands living
Genesishomes is offering first time buyers an opportunity to purchase their very own sleek, contemporary apartment, minutes from Canary Wharf, from only £52,500 for a 25% share.
Whitby House is an ultra modern development which combines practicality, style and sophistication to appeal to those who want an apartment that offers the ‘wow’ factor. The floor to ceiling glass windows, not only offer breathtaking views, but allows natural light to flood the apartments, emphasizing the cool and contemporary nature of the development and surrounding area.
The apartments at Whitby House have been designed to compliment modern lifestyle with open plan living. The kitchen comes complete with integrated oven, hob and extractor hood as well as a fridge freezer and washing machine. In addition to traditional air conditioning, apartments come with a clever ventilation system which allows fresh air to flow around your new home. There is also a modern heating system supplying the whole development, meaning you don’t have to go through the hassle of sorting out your own boiler.
Sharon Cummings from Genesishomes says: “Genesishomes is committed to helping first time buyers who live in and around the London Docklands area onto the property ladder. Whitby House is one of five shared ownership developments we have in the area that will appeal to people who believed that they were priced out of this great location.”
Canary Wharf, less than a ten minute walk away, offers a superb collection of bars and restaurants as well as over 200 fantastic shops. The River Thames is a short walk away and provides further waterside entertainment. Further leisure facilities are available at the world renowned O2 Centre while the popular and picturesque Greenwich Market and Greenwich Park are only twenty minutes away, offering a quiet escape to the buzz of London Docklands.
Located just a few minutes’ walk from Heron Quay and South Quay DLR stations and Canary Wharf underground station, Whitby House has fantastic transport links. The Jubilee Line will take you into the traditional shopping district of London’s West End or even to the thriving Olympic hub, Stratford in less than 20 minutes. Or you can just hop on the DLR for historic Greenwich, the City of London and London City Airport for travellers heading further afield.
All of the apartments are available on a part-buy/part-rent basis. This allows people to buy a share in a property and pay a subsidised rent on the rest.
To be eligible, this must be the buyers’ first property purchase or their only home, they will be unable to buy anything on the open market, earn less than £60,000 and have savings of around £3,500.
Once purchasers have bought, they can also buy additional shares if they wish, as and when they can afford to do so.
