Worried about the cost of living? Worried about rising private rent prices? Perfectly understandable. Your housing expenditure is most likely to be your biggest financial outlay each month, so why not start there and evaluate whether there’s an alternative saving you could be making? Whether you already own an older home or privately rent, switching to new-build Shared Ownership could save you money each month to enjoy London Living as it should be.

Did you know?

The average rent in London is now 52% of an average single-earner’s pre-tax income.

There are pitfalls when it comes to older homes. The first is that they most often have lower energy efficiency ratings; the second is that they can require costly maintenance repairs (and in the cases of privately renting, these can go unfixed by landlords). But this doesn’t have to be your reality; you don’t have to fork out on rocketing rent prices and accept the fate or rising energy costs.

You can make your money go further. There has never been a better time to buy new. You are investing in your future and saving money in the process.

There are several benefits associated with buying a Shared Ownership apartment at Leaside Lock:

Shared Ownership

Buying through Shared Ownership is a fantastic alternative to private renting. You can jump onto the property ladder by owning as little as 25% of the property. Your exact mortgage payments will be based on the percentage of the share that you own; you’ll pay a subsidised rent on the rest.

We will carry out an affordability check to make sure you aren’t stretching yourself too much financially.

Energy Efficiency

New build properties are significantly greener than their older counterparts as they must adhere to strict energy efficiency and sustainability regulations during construction. In communal areas, we use photovoltaic panels that provide affordable and sustainable energy. In our Shared Ownership apartments, the heat and power system increases energy efficiency and reduces monthly utility bills.

Did you know?

• A new build apartment is 46% cheaper to heat than an older property

• A new build apartment generates 53% lower carbon emissions than an older property of its type
