Final Release: First-Time Buyer Homes at Saffron Wharf, London Dock

Affordable homes for first-time buyers in London Dock, Wapping

We are excited to announce the launch of the final sixteen Discount Market Sale homes at our London Dock development in Wapping. Available exclusively to qualifying first-time buyers living or working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, these high-quality one and two-bedroom homes are priced at a discount below market value. Prices start from £255,000 – and are all below the current Stamp Duty Land Tax threshold.

This final release within the Saffron Wharf collection offers buyers the chance to secure a home in one of London’s most in-demand neighbourhoods. Recent data from Rightmove  found that the Docklands including Wapping, Limehouse Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs is London’s most in demand area. Given this, the opportunity to purchase a discounted home at London Dock represents an unprecedented chance for local buyers to get on the property ladder. It’s the perfect opportunity to move out from mum and dad, move closer to work, or start a fresh chapter in your own home. 

Stylish Homes in Saffron Wharf, London Dock, Ready to Move Into

Saffron Wharf is a striking nine-storey building at the heart of the London Dock community. Each home has been designed with inspiration drawn from the area’s rich dockside heritage, blending industrial style with modern living. That heritage stems from the creation of the London Docks in the 19th century, which transformed trade in the capital. Today, the architectural details at Saffron Wharf – its industrial-inspired fixtures and fittings – pay homage to this remarkable history while offering residents all the comforts of modern city living.

The homes feature spacious open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, electric underfloor heating, and high-quality finishes throughout. Many homes also benefit from private balconies or terraces, bringing in light and offering outdoor space in the heart of the city.

Modern kitchens are fitted with integrated appliances, timber-effect flooring, graphite coloured kitchen cupboard doors, and marble-effect worktops. Bathrooms are finished with bespoke basins, wall mounted mirrored vanity units, Crittall style black framed bath screens, and sleek black brassware. These homes are ready to move into today, offering first time buyers an immediate step into homeownership.

Why it’s a great time to buy your first home

The launch of these homes comes at a moment of opportunity for first-time buyers. Rightmove analysis suggests that a first-time buyer in London could be saving around £240 per month on mortgage costs compared with this time last year. Combined with the discount market sale initiative and exemption from stamp duty, Saffron Wharf presents a valuable chance for first-time buyers to purchase a new home below market value, just minutes from the heart of the city.

Residents’ amenities at London Dock

Purchasers of Saffron Wharf homes will enjoy access to The Club, London Dock’s hotel-style residents’ amenities. This includes a fully equipped gym, swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, squash court, virtual golf suite, treatment room, private screening room, and 24-hour concierge service.

We are also delivering the new 6,000 sq ft Mauretania Lounge – a travel-inspired residents’ space featuring an aquarium centerpiece, lounge areas, co-working zones, a bar, and a private dining room. It’s designed as the perfect setting for residents to work from home, study, relax, and connect with neighbours.
