Buyers Can Count on Crossrail at Royal Albert Wharf

Since the announcement of Crossrail, homes located within London Travel Zone 3 have seen the highest price increase in comparison to other zones, with a 14% uplift[1]. For savvy buyers on the hunt for a home with attractive investment potential, Notting Hill Sales’ Royal Albert Wharf development provides the ideal opportunity. Neatly located within Zone 3, only a few minutes’ walk from Gallions Reach DLR, residents can easily connect to new Crossrail station Custom House. Opening later this year, Custom House will enable city workers to travel into central London with ease, reaching Liverpool Street in just 10 minutes. Furthermore, Notting Hill Sales is offering the Government-backed London Help to Buy scheme and will also pay stamp duty on a selection of properties*, making buying at Royal Albert Wharf an affordable investment.

Ideal for first-time buyers and second-steppers looking for a stylish city pad, Royal Albert Wharf offers a unique collection of two and three bedroom apartments, perfect for making the most of the on-site amenities and excellent transport links, as well as enjoying an inspiring riverside location. Due to be launched in December this year, residents will be able to access Custom House station, where up to 12 Crossrail services an hour will run, cutting journey times into Central London, Paddington and Heathrow by more than half.

Jenny Murphy, Head of Sales and Marketing at Notting Hill Sales, comments: “The property market in this East London district is certainly seeing the benefit of the Crossrail effect. With property prices already creeping up along the Crossrail route, many eager buyers are keen to invest in a new home now to take advantage of the growing popularity of the area, vastly improved commuter links and the boost this will have on house prices. Royal Albert Wharf’s fantastic location and access to some truly unique facilities, makes this especially attractive for young professional Londoner’s who want to get onto the property ladder and be well-connected, and it’s a great time to buy with the assistance of Help to Buy and our great stamp duty offer.”

All of the apartments at Royal Albert Wharf boast high specification throughout. The full-height windows and doors flood the apartments with an abundance of natural light, while some enjoy access to a terrace or private balcony, where residents can relax or dine taking in the views across the docks. The kitchens are complemented by a range of integrated Zanussi appliances, including an oven, ceramic hob, fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The bedrooms are fully carpeted, with fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom and many include en-suite shower rooms. Bathrooms and en-suites feature white Ideal Standard sanitary ware, and high-quality chrome fixtures and fittings, including heated ladder-style towel rails.

Royal Albert Wharf is a new riverside community, breathing new life into this area of London. For those who would like to make the most of the outdoors, RAW Labs Art Gallery is moments from home and there will be a selection of local shops, restaurants, cafés on site, as well as a variety of high street stores and restaurants at nearby Gallions Reach Shopping Park to choose from.

The development is conveniently located within a few minutes’ walk of Gallions Reach DLR station, which provides excellent connections to major transport hubs, including Stratford International in under 30 minutes. Canning Town is just a 12-minute journey on the DLR, offering quick access to Canary Wharf (19 minutes), London Bridge (22 minutes) and Waterloo (25 minutes) via the Jubilee Line.
