Distance is a straight line between postcodes, not a walking route. Each school sets its own admission rules, and living nearby does not secure a place. Outstanding is Ofsted’s highest grade; the result and date are those on the school’s Ofsted page on the date checked.

The area and its plans

• Royal Borough of Greenwich: the Royal Arsenal riverside site (36 hectares) is planned for over 5,000 new homes; construction started in 2001, will continue until 2030, and over 3,500 homes have been built so far (status: under construction).¹⁵Verified (official source)
• The council describes Woolwich Exchange, a proposed scheme around the former covered market with 801 new homes, space for business and leisure and a five-screen cinema (status: proposal). Elizabeth line services already run from Woolwich.¹⁵Verified (official source)

Plans can change or be delayed. We do not draw conclusions about future prices or rents from them.

Ownership and running costs

Tenure	Leasehold, 999 years (start date not stated)2Developer statement
Service charge	Estimated £5.98 per sq ft (about £64 per m²) in the March 2026 factsheet, which does not state the period. It typically covers buildings insurance, lift maintenance, block utilities, cleaning and managing agent fees. Ask for the annual budget for the home you choose.2Developer statement

Council tax band	Not published; we request it from the developer in writing.Not verified

A figure with a source number comes from the developer’s published documents on the date shown. It applies to the development or to the one home named, and can be different for the home you choose. For a specific home we obtain the lease length, service charge budget, ground rent, council tax band and parking terms from the developer in writing and send them to you before any viewing. Our guide to leasehold and service charges explains how to read these figures.

Rent evidence

• Greenwich, August 2026, average monthly private rent: 1 bedroom £1,563, 2 bedrooms £1,932, 3 bedrooms £2,242.¹⁶Verified (official source)

Average private rents across the whole borough, published by the Office for National Statistics. They are not a rent estimate or valuation for homes here, and we do not publish yield figures.

Buying from abroad: general information

• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is paid when you buy a home in England. If any buyer is not UK resident for SDLT purposes, a non-resident surcharge is added on top of the normal rates. For an individual the test is time spent in the UK: you are treated as non-resident if you were not in the UK for at least 183 days in the 12 months before the purchase.¹⁷Verified (official source)
• An individual who paid the non-resident surcharge can claim it back by amending the SDLT return if they spend at least 183 days in the UK in a continuous 365-day period within the window that starts 364 days before and ends 365 days after the purchase. The claim must be made within two years of the purchase.¹⁷Verified (official source)
• If, after the purchase, you will own more than one residential property, higher rates for additional properties usually apply as well. A developer offer that pays ‘Stamp Duty’ covers only what its terms say; check whether it excludes these surcharges.¹⁸Verified (official source)

General information from GOV.UK, not tax advice. Your solicitor or tax adviser confirms what applies to you.

Before you reserve

• Purchase cost breakdown: deposit, Stamp Duty, legal fees and payment timing.
• Stamp Duty calculator: your tax as an overseas or UK buyer.
• Reservation vs exchange: what each step commits you to.
• Buying off-plan: deposits, timelines and what to check.
• Questions to ask before reserving: the checklist we use.
• Rental yield calculator: test your own rent and cost assumptions.

Who it may suit

• Matches a buyer looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment, with a budget from about £415,000, who can wait for an estimated completion in Q1 2028 and wants Elizabeth line access.¹Developer statement

A factual match based on the prices, home types and timing above. It is not a recommendation.

Ask about current availability

Prices and availability change. We confirm both with the developer and, with your agreement, register you with them in writing before any visit. If you buy following our introduction, the developer or a company selling on its behalf may pay us a referral fee or commission.
