Find your dream home with Shared Ownership!

Buy Shared Ownership with L&Q and Find Your Dream Home

With the average home deposit in London reaching six figures, home ownership in the capital can feel increasingly out of reach for first time buyers house hunting in their favourite neighbourhoods.

In a market where property prices continue to rise, alternative routes onto the ladder, such as Shared Ownership, can help bring this goal within reach. Shared Ownership allows buyers to purchase a percentage of the full market value of their home, and rent the additional portion off their housing provider, making it a much more accessible way to get onto the property ladder.

Deposits for the homes through this part-buy, part-rent scheme can be as low as 5 to 10% of the purchased share price – making it an accessible option for a range of buyers, from single professionals to growing families. Whether you’re on the search for a vibrant London borough or a peaceful, suburban town, Shared Ownership means not having to sacrifice living in your dream location.

Acton is the perfect neighbourhood for first time buyers looking for value for money in West London. Our Churchfield Quarter development presents an opportunity to step on the ladder in an exciting location, with a collection of one, two and three bedroom Shared Ownership apartments available. Situated alongside the newly redeveloped The Oaks shopping centre, housing a Boots, Lidl and The Gym Group, Churchfield Quarter is located directly on the popular Churchfield Road – a haven for Londoners looking to eat and shop locally. Neighbourhood favourites include carefully curated Otto Trading for vintage and contemporary homeware, family-run greengrocer Basil & Tom’s for fresh produce, and the independent wine bar and shop Vindinista.

South of the river, Wandsworth Exchange offers a selection of one and two bedroom Shared Ownership homes in one of London’s most desirable boroughs. The development is set in the heart of Wandsworth Town, packed with a number of entertainment options – including the permanent residence of Backyard Cinema. A short walk along the nearby River Wandle leads directly to the scenic Thames riverside and local favourites The Ship and The Waterfront.

In East London, the post-Olympic regeneration boom is in full swing – transforming Stratford into one of London’s most exciting neighbourhoods. Part of the Chobham Farm masterplan, New Stratford Works will provide one, two and three bedroom Shared Ownership apartments in the heart of the action – just moments from Stratford Underground and Rail Station, Westfield Stratford, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Adding to the area’s cultural reputation, development of the Stratford Waterfront will create space for Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the V&A Museum.

For those looking to settle in the Counties, Cambridge offers history, culture, and an exciting foodie scene perfect for first time buyers looking to put down roots outside of the capital. Just over a mile outside of Cambridge City Centre, L&Q at Darwin Green will offer a collection of two and three bedroom Shared Ownership houses, in a range of styles. Homes are surrounded by a wealth of green space and the buzz of Cambridge is a short walk away – offering comprehensive retail therapy at the Grand Arcade and beautiful surroundings for a meal or after work drink at The Pint Shop or Trinity.
