Not a fair fight — a studio and a shared-ownership flat aren't the same as a full one-bedroom purchase — but the contrast is worth seeing.
Coopers Close · Tower Hamlets, London
£230,000
A 958-year lease — nearly identical to Wake Green Park’s 956 years — but £230,000 buys a studio flat with no separate bedroom, versus a proper one-bedroom apartment here.
Cordwainer House · Hackney, London
£200,000 for a 50% share · full value £400,000
A similarly sized one-bedroom flat (492 sq ft vs 318 sq ft here) is valued at £400,000 in full — buyers only get a 50% shared-ownership stake for £200,000, on a much shorter 107-year lease.
Ontario Tower · Poplar, London
£230,000
A genuine riverside tower, and its 974-year lease is close to Wake Green Park’s 956 — but it costs 2.8× as much, and the £667/month service charge alone is more than most mortgage payments.
Deals Gateway · Deptford, London
£200,000
Wake Green Park started life as a studio before being arranged into a proper one-bedroom flat. This Deptford studio is still unconverted — 351 sq ft, no separate bedroom — and costs 2.4× as much.
