Looking to step onto the property ladder on your own?
Many people dream of buying a place to call their own and stepping onto the property ladder but may feel it is difficult to achieve on a single income.
Thankfully Shared Ownership is perfect for those looking for a more affordable way to purchase a home and move out of renting.
Shared Ownership allows you to buy a share of a home (usually 25% share) and pay rent on the remaining amount to a housing association. As you only need a mortgage on the share you are buying, the deposit required is much smaller. As the rent on the share you don't own is below market value, the monthly costs are also often less than renting privately.
At Peabody New Homes, we have a fantastic collection of Studio and 1-bed apartments at various developments across central London locations. Discover some of our featured developments below perfect for anyone looking to buy a home on their own.

"We really wanted to stay in London and buying through Shared Ownership was the best way to make this happen. Everyone at Peabody New Homes was so helpful and very efficient, guiding us through each stage of the process. From my initial phone call, they managed to book me an appointment for the following week. I was so impressed with the quality of the homes here."
