News & Events13/01/05And then there was one... This is an exceptional opportunity to buy on this popular scheme which features thoughtfully designed living spaces, contemporary, well-equipped kitchens and stylish bathrooms. The apartment in Ham forms part of the Try Homes development, Isabella Place, consisting of 24 properties. The one bedroom apartment available is being offered by Merlion Homes on a shared equity basis. With the staggering rise in house prices, purchasers are increasingly turning to shared ownership schemes to join the property ladder. Merlion Homes offers the Merlion Assisted Purchase Scheme (MAPS) to help potential purchasers buy their homes. This shared equity plan allows people to buy a new home at a reduced percentage of its market value, normally 75% of the open market value. Many shared equity / ownership schemes are available on a part buy, part rent basis, which when the mortgage and rent is added together can work out more expensive. Merlion Homes offer a viable alternative to overcome this problem in that they do not charge rent on the remaining 25% percentage. Prices for this one bedroom apartment on a 75% market share is an amazing £142,950. The apartment has a fitted kitchen including a stainless steel sink, electric oven, gas hob and extractor hood. The bathroom has a triton power shower and features a white Armitage Shanks suite. The apartment has a spacious 16ft x 14ft lounge, gas central heating, whilst the master bedroom boasts a fitted wardrobe. The apartment is allocated one parking space and there is a cycle store within the development. The development lies in a prime location close to Richmond Park, Ham Common and Kingston town centre. Many major roads and motorways are easily accessible including the A3, M3 and the M25 is only eight miles away. Rail commuters are well served with frequent services from many stations - trains to London Waterloo run from Kingston every 15 minutes at peak times, with an average journey time of approximately 30 minutes. Kingston is served by around 40 bus routes providing links to all parts of the borough and further afield. Shopping facilities in the borough are exceptionally varied - Kingston boasts many department stores, supermarkets and individual retailers. The Eden Walk Shopping Centre and the pedestrianised Clarence Street are well worth a browse, as is the spectacular Bentall Centre and the eye-catching John Lewis store.
