Secure an award winning home at Woodberry Park
Genesis is pleased to offer purchasers the opportunity to secure an award winning home at its Woodberry Park development near Finsbury Park in Hackney. At this year’s Daily Telegraph British Homes Build Quality Awards, the development won the award for ‘Social Housing Development of the Year’ for its range of shared ownership apartments.
The latest phase, which launches this month, offers spacious, thoughtfully planned accommodation that is ideal for singletons, couples and families. Its location, within a short walk of Manor House tube station and the beautiful expanse of Finsbury Park, makes it perfect for commuters and those looking to enjoy green open space. And it’s smart, modern design and careful landscaping will please even the most image-conscious buyer.
Prices at Woodberry Park mean that a superb modern home is genuinely affordable for first-time buyers. Under Genesis’s shared ownership scheme, buyers can purchase between 25% and 75% of their chosen apartments and increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership. That means that prices start at just £42,500 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment with a full market value of £170,000.
The apartments available at Woodberry Park are the early phases of one of the biggest estate regeneration programmes in the UK, which, when complete, will provide 4,600 homes over 26 hectares of landscaped grounds and comprise a landmark ‘gateway’ development.
Every aspect of Woodberry Park has been designed for ultimate style, comfort and convenience. Interiors are finished to a superior specification, with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows; sleekly contemporary bathrooms fully tiled with ceramic feature wall and co-coordinating ceramic floor tiling; and fully fitted Indesit appliances in the kitchen. An electronic audio door entry system ensures security and peace of mind, while stylish glass and steel balconies and paved terraces make sure that homeowners will enjoy as much time outside as they will inside.
Woodberry Park’s prime location on the banks of the New River and West Reservoir mean that sailing, nature trails and an abundance of wildlife are right on the doorstep. Ideal for commuters, the development is just around the corner from Manor House underground station, from where the Piccadilly Line runs services to Finsbury Park in two minutes and King’s Cross St Pancras in ten minutes – ideal for regular Eurostar users – or direct to Heathrow Airport. The Olympic site and the new Westfield Stratford City shopping destination are just 18 minutes away by tube.
Under Genesishomes’ shared ownership scheme, buyers at Woodberry Park can purchase between 25% and 75% of a property and pay a subsidised rent on the balance. They can increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership. The scheme, designed to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder, is open to anyone who doesn’t already own a property and is unable to buy a home on the open market. Their household income must be below £60,000 per annum and they will need savings of around £3,500 to cover moving and legal costs.
Prices of the newly launched apartments range from £42,500 for a 25% share in a one-bedroom apartment worth £170,000 to £67,500 for a 25% share in a three-bedroom apartment costing £270,000 on the open market.
