St Ann’s hospital flats

Thanks to a Rightmove alert, I received details of a flat being sold at the St Ann’s hospital site. A one-bed flat is offered off-plan for £410,000 leasehold, so presumably also liable for ground rent and service charges to cover the “concierge service”. As well as claiming in a headline that the site is “8 minutes from King’s Cross” (actually from Seven Sisters station, of course, once you read through the blurb), perhaps predictably the agent’s spiel says “With… a forecast 20.7% rental growth from 2024 to 2028, this address is not only a place to live but also a smart investment opportunity”.

After all the efforts of StArt to ensure as many as possible of the properties would at least be “affordable”, that doesn’t look encouraging at this stage. Does anyone know what the final requirement was for the percentage the developers have to provide of social and/or “affordable” housing, and have they whittled it down since getting final permission?
