New homes launched in Earlsfield, Wandsworth
A new collection of Shared Ownership apartments has launched at SO Resi Earlsfield, part of the King George’s Gate development in SW18.
Delivered by SO Resi, the Shared Ownership brand from Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, the collection comprises 82 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, providing an opportunity for buyers to put down roots in the well-established south-west London neighbourhood of Earlsfield. A 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment is available for £470,000, with a 5% deposit of £5,875.
SO Resi offers a route into home ownership by enabling buyers to purchase an initial share of a property, ranging from 10% to 75%, but typically between 25% and 75%, while paying a mortgage on the share they own and a subsidised rent on the remainder. Buyers can purchase additional shares over time through a process known as staircasing, with the potential to eventually own their home outright.
The homes at SO Resi Earlsfield have been designed with modern living in mind, maximise light and space while offering contemporary finishes and private outdoor space. The development forms part of King George’s Gate, creating a new residential setting within easy reach of the area’s established amenities.
Sarah Ellis, Director of Sales & Marketing at Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, said: “Earlsfield offers a fantastic combination of neighbourhood character, green space and excellent connections into central London, making it an increasingly attractive place for people to call home in south-west London.”
Situated between Wimbledon and Clapham in the London Borough of Wandsworth, Earlsfield has developed a strong identity as one of south-west London’s popular residential neighbourhoods. Centred around Garratt Lane, the area combines independent cafés, restaurants and pubs with the everyday amenities that make it an appealing place to call home.
Green space is also a defining feature of the area. King George’s Park and the River Wandle are both nearby, offering opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, while the Wandle Trail provides walking and cycling routes through south-west London.
Residents can also enjoy easy access to the wider amenities of Wandsworth, including Southside Shopping Centre, with its range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities. Local gyms, libraries and community spaces are also within easy reach.
The development is well placed for transport, with Earlsfield station within walking distance and providing direct services to London Waterloo in under 15 minutes. Wandsworth Town and Clapham Junction stations are also nearby, offering further connections across London and beyond, while local bus and cycle routes provide additional ways to travel around the area.
Sarah continued: “Through SO Resi Earlsfield, we are giving buyers the opportunity to become part of this established and well-connected community, while making their move into homeownership more achievable. Shared Ownership can help to open the door to areas that may otherwise feel out of reach, and we are proud to be offering high-quality new homes in such a desirable location.”
