Zoffany Place, Hemel Hempstead

Offered for sale on a 75% Shared Ownership basis at £217,500, with a full market value of £290,000, this two bedroom apartment at Roundwood House offers a brilliant opportunity to secure a comfortable, well maintained home in Hemel Hempstead. There is something really appealing about a home that feels easy from the moment you walk through the door, and this one does exactly that. The property is also being offered to the market chain free, helping to make the buying process as straightforward as possible.

Set within a well maintained development, the apartment offers a great balance of comfortable living space, practical features and well cared for communal surroundings. For a first time buyer, couple or someone looking for a lower maintenance home, it is a property that makes a lot of sense.

Inside, the accommodation is well laid out, with a bright and comfortable living space that gives you plenty of room to relax, entertain or simply switch off at the end of the day. The kitchen comes with a number of useful appliances included in the sale, including a full length fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer, making it that little bit easier for the next owner to move straight in and settle down.

There are two bedrooms, giving you flexibility whether you need a second bedroom for guests, a home office or simply some extra space to grow into.

Outside the apartment itself, the development has clearly been looked after. The communal areas are cleaned twice a week, the communal windows are cleaned and there is a shared garden maintained by Hightown. There is also a secure communal bicycle store with coded access.

Parking is another real benefit. The apartment comes with one allocated parking space and there are also visitor and guest spaces available within the development.

The remaining 25% is owned by Hightown Housing Association, with the current rent on that share being £222.12 per month.

In addition to the rent, the current monthly charges payable to Hightown are £116.08, which includes the service charge, buildings insurance, management fee and reserve fund contribution. The total current monthly payment to Hightown is therefore £338.20.

The property is leasehold, with a 125 year lease granted from 2021, and there is the option to staircase up to 100% ownership in the future.

For buyers who have perhaps assumed that owning a home of their own is still slightly out of reach, Shared Ownership can offer another route onto the property ladder, and this apartment combines that opportunity with a genuinely comfortable and well maintained place to call home.
