Description
The multi award winning apartment buildings at Granary Wharf nestle between the bustle of Leeds city centre and the gentle activity of the Leeds Liverpool canal, a waterside haven that offers the best of both worlds.
Granary Wharf includes two apartment buildings, the stepped Waterman’s Place with its warming cedar cladding and glowing copper walls, and statuesque Candle House, a unique cylindrical edifice already well recognised on the Leeds skyline. Residents can take in the views from their own individual balconies or from the private communal roof terraces on each building; Candle House has the highest such garden in Leeds with 360 degree vistas from the 21st floor.
The development is within a ten minute walk to some of the best theatres, restaurants, shops and galleries in the region while also home to an ever expanding community of it’s own independent bars, eateries and cafés.
Both Candle House and Waterman’s Place feature a selection of stylish studio, one and two bedroom apartments, with prices starting at just £95,000. All apartments benefit from:
• High quality, integrated NEFF appliances to include dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave and hob with oven.
• Granite work surfaces
• Engineered oak wood flooring
• Brushed steel plug sockets
• Floor to ceiling windows
• Balconies available with some apartments
NewBuy
New home buyers at Granary Wharf can now take advantage of NewBuy, the latest government-backed scheme which allows us to offer 90-95% mortgages on apartments at Candle House, meaning you only need to find a 5-10% deposit to be a part of our stylish waterside community.
NewBuy is open to all buyers, not just first-time buyers – so it can help families trapped in a home that is too small because they have only limited equity in their home and very limited savings. Potential purchasers wishing to take advantage of the scheme will need to qualify for a mortgage with a mortgage lender in the usual way and be subject to the lender’s normal assessment criteria.
Once you’ve chosen which of the stunning range of studio, one and two bedroom apartments you want to make your home at Candle House, you can speak to our financial advisor who will assess your mortgage requirements and advise if a NewBuy mortgage is suitable.
You will then need to apply for a mortgage with the appropriate lender and once you have your mortgage offer and you have reserved your new home, you are on the way to becoming a proud new home owner.
The scheme has a few special requirements that you need to be aware of:
• The property must be purchased for less than £500,000
• It is available to UK citizens and those with a right to remain indefinitely in the country
• It covers full home ownership only, so is not available for shared equity or shared ownership
• It is available for the purchase of a person’s primary home only, so not for second homes or investment or buy-to-let purchases
• It only applies to capital repayment mortgages, not interest-only mortgages
• You must not be receiving help with your deposit from a local authority or other public body

ISIS - Background
“A promising new player, ISIS is a distinctly unusual developer with a mission to regenerate. And it is doing big work.” Hugh Pearman, Sunday Times
“I’m passionate about moving away from this identikit, sterile approach to developments. I see ISIS as being at the forefront of this shift. We take a long-term view of regeneration, not a short-term, purely profit-driven approach.” Dara Mulcahy, ISIS Finance Director
The forward-thinking company behind the stunning Islington Wharf development, ISIS believe in apartment schemes that encourage sustainable communities rather than short-term profits – ‘Buy to Live’ rather than buy-to-let.
ISIS is a waterside regeneration company owned by British Waterways, igloo (the regeneration fund of Aviva) and MUSE Developments.
Named after the Egyptian goddess of rebirth and rejuvenation, it was created on a sound commercial basis based on ethical principles, with a unique approach. ISIS was designed to deliver the Government’s vision of an urban renaissance, building on the natural strength of our waterways to create mixed, balanced and diverse genuinely sustainable communities. ISIS works to a business model that prioritises people, tackling climate change and creating great places as the fundamental drivers of creating added value to projects. 50 per cent of ISIS profits are invested in Britain’s waterways.
ISIS - SustainabilityOur philosophy is captured in our Charter, the objective of which is to unlock the unique potential of waterside regeneration sites, adding to the quality of life of their users, visitors and neighbours whilst ensuring that the natural systems, resources and diversity upon which they depend are enhanced for both current and future generations.
ISIS is one of the very few companies to submit to an independent audit. This is carried out by URBED under the guidance of a Socially Responsible Investment Committee chaired by Sir Jonathan Porritt and including Professor Anne Power (LSE), George Ferguson and Paul King (Chief Executive of the UK Green Building Council), ensuring that we continue to push ourselves and our partners towards more effective sustainability policy and implementation.
