One-bedroom over the river gardens | Hurlingham Waterfront

No off-plan wait, no construction risk, no guesswork. Hurlingham Waterfront is a completed riverside development in Fulham SW6, on one of the last waterfront plots on this stretch of the Thames. The keys exist, the amenities are open, and every home can be let from the day you complete.

The apartment. A second-floor one-bedroom of 681 sq ft with a 91 sq ft balcony overlooking the river gardens. Timber floors in the living and kitchen space, floor-to-ceiling windows and a warm neutral palette that suits furnished or unfurnished letting. At £954 per sq ft it is one of the two best-value homes in the building.

Residents' amenities. Tenants pay for what is downstairs: a 19m pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and treatment rooms, a gym and wellness studios, a cinema room, co-working with meeting rooms, a residents' lounge, a private podium garden and a 24-hour concierge.

Location. Rental demand is built in. Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway give District line access to the West End and the City; Sloane Square is 10 minutes and Hyde Park Corner 13 minutes from Parsons Green. Imperial College is 2.7 miles away and Heathrow within 30 minutes by car.

Why buy. Developer-estimated rent of £770 a week gives 6.2% gross and about 5.3% after service charge, on a completed riverside home under £1,000 per sq ft. That combination rarely survives a second release.
