London Home Show Sponsors: Meet Aster Sales
New Shared Ownership developments in London
2025 is set to be another exciting year for Aster Group as we prepare to unveil further Shared Ownership developments in the vibrant and diverse city of London. As one of the largest affordable housing providers across southern England, we are thrilled to have a range of one, two and three bedroom Shared Ownership homes coming to Silvertown, Southall, Wandsworth and Twickenham.
One of our customers who recently secured his home just outside London is a true success story of how Shared Ownership can change lives. Paul works in Teddington, London, and recently bought a Shared Ownership home in Redhill, Surrey.
Before finding his dream home in Redhill, Paul was living in Surbiton, South West London with his partner. When the relationship ended, he found himself moving back in with his parents, something many of us can relate to, but it wasn’t exactly where he saw himself long-term. He spent the next two years saving up and actively searching for a place of his own.
It was a chance conversation during a training session at work that changed everything. A colleague mentioned that she had bought an Aster home, which piqued Paul’s interest. A quick email to our sales team led to an exciting discovery: a Shared Ownership property in Redhill that was perfect for him.
Taking the leap
Shared Ownership turned out to be the perfect option for Paul. The flexibility of Shared Ownership allowed him to put down a deposit that was within his budget and move forward without the daunting financial burden that comes with traditional home-buying.
Paul was impressed with how smooth the process was. From quick responses to emails to the helpful guidance from our team, Paul felt supported every step of the way.
Making it his own
One of the biggest perks of buying his home through Shared Ownership was the freedom it gave Paul. Unlike renting, where tenants have to ask permission for every little change, buying meant he could truly make the space his own. He chose his flooring, painted the walls, and even created a “no shoe zone” policy, much to his parents’ amusement when they came to visit.
Why Aster?
When asked if he would recommend buying a home with Aster, Paul didn’t hesitate. The combination of accessibility, support, and the quality of the homes made the decision easy for him.
Paul’s advice: “For anyone considering Shared Ownership, don’t be afraid to give it a go. The lower deposit requirements make it much more accessible, and it’s a great option for those who are eager to have their own space without the heavy financial burden.” In Paul’s case, his deposit was around £8,000, a far cry from the hefty sums typically needed for a traditional home purchase.
