Value for money flats in Hackney
Property-seekers in search of flats in Hackney can save themselves tens of thousands of pounds in an instant – by buying a brand new home at Taylor Wimpey’s Amhurst Corner.
One and two-bedroom apartments at this stunning new development of property in Hackney are available now for up to £65,000 less than similar-sized properties on the second-hand market.
A typical one-bedroom home for sale in the E8 postcode area is priced at over £250,000*, yet one-bedroom apartments in Hackney at Amhurst Corner are priced from only £199,950.
Two-bedroom apartments at the development offer even better value for money from as little as £284,950, compared to more than £350,000 for the second-hand equivalent in the area.
Homes at Amhurst Corner are also competitively priced when compared with the cost of Stoke Newington flats and flats in Bow.
Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “This unique development offers superb value for money in a popular, up-and-coming London location, so it’s no surprise that over half the apartments have already been sold at Amhurst Corner.
“The new homes are proving a particular hit with young professionals who are finding they can afford to take their first step onto the property ladder thanks to the amazing savings on offer.”
Aspiring homeowners who are struggling to raise a big enough deposit for their first home can also benefit from Taylor Wimpey’s fantastic Deposit Match scheme at Amhurst Corner.
This fantastic initiative lets first-time buyers double their deposits up to 10% of the purchase price of selected homes at this sought-after development, with an interest-free, 10-year loan from the housebuilder.
Each home at Amhurst Corner offers generous accommodation for individuals or couples, including a spacious lounge/dining room and open-plan kitchen, a well-proportioned bedroom and a bathroom off the internal entrance hallway, with private balconies or patios to selected plots.
Apartments are finished to a high standard specification including fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher plus oven, hob and hood; central heating, downlighters to selected rooms, chrome heated towel rails to the bathroom, plus traditional painted timber-framed windows.
Located at the junction of Amhurst Road and Shacklewell Lane, Hackney, Amhurst Corner benefits from excellent commuter links, with Hackney Central and Dalston Kingsland rail stations just a short distance away for connections to King’s Cross and Liverpool Street in less than 20 minutes, and the A10 for central London and Cambridge only half a mile from the development.
At the heart of the capital’s ongoing urban regeneration programme for the London 2012 Olympics, Hackney offers all the benefits of vibrant London ‘village’ living, with a host of high street and independent shops, fashionable boutiques, pubs, cafés and restaurants all within easy reach of home.
Only a stone’s throw away is the artistic hub of Hoxton, with its galleries, bars and clubs, while for entertainment lovers, the famous Hackney Empire is also close by.
