Homes for Londoners
Have you considered shared ownership? I'm selling my 25% share of a really lovely two-bed apartment. The building has a great community feel (only 25 flats in the building) and is located just off Dartmouth Road. It's nice and quiet but still just a 3-minute walk to the station, and even better, just a few steps from Bona pizza!
Shared ownership is a scheme that gives first-time buyers the opportunity to purchase a share in a property and pay a subsidised rent on the part they don’t own. Because you only need a mortgage for the share you’re purchasing, the amount of money required for a deposit is usually a lot lower compared to purchasing outright.
I’ve been in the scheme for several years and it's enabled me to live in an amazing area (Forest Hill) which would have been virtually impossible on the open market. Link below with more details and photos, although feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
