Buying Property in Canary Wharf



Canary Wharf is a unique place to live and work. Arising from the ashes of the traditional dock industries, the last 15 years has seen Canary Wharf explode into a world-class financial and business centre, with over 90,000 employees.

To meet the demand from this young and dynamic workforce, developers have constructed a wide-range of high-specification, luxury accommodation. These range from family town houses to warehouse lofts, penthouses and multi-million pound apartment blocks. Combined with smart dockside bars, restaurants and designer shopping, this means that, if you are looking for the best in urban lifestyle, a property in Canary Wharf is for you.

What should you think about?
These are just a few pointers for selecting property within Canary Wharf:

·         Type of property – Charles Hamilton Estates have a huge range to offer.
·         Location – The defining factor. How far do you want to be from transport or work? A view over the Thames or the quays?  Those with views are much sought-after!
·         Transport and parking - Parking is very limited but with good transport links – Jubilee line, DLR, buses and river taxi – you can easily get to where you want to be.
·         Facilities – Many developments include a fully fitted gymnasium, indoor private pool, and even a cocktail bar!
·         Service Charges – these can vary considerably depending on the facilities; ranging from £1500 for smaller apartments up to £22,000 for desirable penthouses.

Discovery Dock is one of the leading residential developments in Canary Wharf. It brings together all that’s best in a Canary Wharf property; fabulous waterside location, great facilities and easy access to work and play.

The two Discovery Dock apartment buildings - Discovery Dock West and Discovery Dock East – overlook the water at South Dock, but their position on Marsh Wall means that you are only 5 minutes walk from Canary Wharf’s business centre, Underground and DLR stations.

Charles Hamilton Estates are the premier agent for Discovery Dock and are delighted to offer a wide choice of one and two-bedroom apartments, and penthouses, to buy or to rent. Visit them at their website www.charleshamiltonestates.co.uk or get in touch with one of their fantastic agents.
