What is Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership makes it possible to buy a property that otherwise would not have been affordable on the open market. It is best suited to people who have some money saved, but not enough for a deposit to buy 100% of a home. In a nutshell, Shared Ownership allows you to buy a share of your home with a mortgage.
This can be as little as 25% or as much as 75% initially. Typically, people start with a 30% share. You only need to pay a deposit on the share you are buying, not on the total cost of the home. This means that the amount you need in savings is far less than if you were buying the same property outright.
Why you should consider Shared Ownership homes in East London
Deciding exactly where to buy in London can be another obstacle many first-time buyers face when thinking about making such an important investment. Shared Ownership is a great way to help you set up home and be part of a buzzing new community in East London. This area benefits from great connectivity thanks to tube and overgound transport.
For example, our Shared Ownership homes in Newham offer a bustling, up-and-coming neighbourhood of the east side of London, with many shops, restaurants and facilities to choose from. East London's proximity to Central London and vibrant nightlife, shopping and entertainment scenes, continue to evoke high demand among buyers.
Relax in East London's Green Spaces
If you enjoy the outdoors, local parks in East London are exceptional. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a particular jewel, with 560 acres to explore and in close proximity to another of our Shared Ownership developments at Stonelea Gardens, in Waltham Forest. You’ll find parklands, cafés, 6km of waterways and attractions that include world class sporting facilities and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, where you can enjoy London’s skyline from 114.5 metres in the sky. There’s even more nature to explore at nearby Wanstead Flats and Hackney Marshes.
And if you need even more access to green spaces, owning a Shared Ownership home in East London gives you an opportunity to enjoy the large area of open grassland at the south of Epping Forest that’s perfect for walking, picnics and enjoying nature.

East London is known for being a vibrant, and colourful area packed with various places to eat offering a wide range of restaurants. If you love food, there’s a glittering array of world cuisines to choose from, offering great flavours to eat there or take away, such as Mora in Leytonstone serving fresh Sardinian dishes.
The New Spitalfields Market is an unmissable spectacle – it’s the UK’s premier wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower market and it’s open throughout the night.
Lots of new, independent shops and boutiques, alongside family-orientated restaurants and cafés give East London an increasingly stylish vibe.
