Choose London, Choose Shared Ownership
In recent research conducted by NHG Homes – in partnership with Opinium – four in five London renters said they were optimistic about getting on the property ladder over the coming years. However, for many, the deposit needed to buy a home on the open market is out of reach as the average deposit held is £22,963.
This challenge is even more prevalent for those buying solo. Of those surveyed, under a half said they were hoping to purchase a home on their own in the coming years, while a third of those planning to buy with another person said it was because they couldn’t afford to buy alone.
NHG Homes offers homes to buy with Shared Ownership – where buyers part own and part rent a home – giving Londoners the opportunity to put down roots in popular, sought after locations with lower deposits than are required on the open market. Use this page to learn more about the process, and how we can provide you with an amazing new home.
