Legal & General Affordable Homes: London living made accessible through Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership apartments available in Hammersmith and Fulham, Tower Hamlets and Hounslow

Legal & General Affordable Homes (LGAH) is one of the specialist housing arms of Legal & General Capital and aiming to become the top private provider of social and affordable housing in the UK.

With a wide range of homes across London available through Shared Ownership, LGAH offers an alternative option for getting onto the housing ladder – you buy a percentage of a property and pay rent on the remainder.

The scheme means that people who may have previously thought homeownership in London was impossible can now afford to part-buy and get a foot onto the capital’s housing ladder without the high deposit accompanied with purchasing outright. It’s a unique opportunity to put your own stamp on a new, modern home finished to the highest specification.

With Shared Ownership Week commencing on October 5th, it’s the perfect time to find out more about the opportunities available with LGAH’s Shared Ownership schemes across London.

Minutes from some of the capital’s greatest shopping, arts and entertainment facilities, homes at Acer Apartments provide endless leisure opportunities in Zone 2. And if Westfield and the BBC TV Centre aren’t enough, White City and Wood Lane tube stations are both within walking distance and provide access into central London in under 20 minutes. 

Each apartment has access to a private balcony and is surrounded by eight acres of communal landscaped parks and gardens. 

For a 25% share at Acer Apartments, prices start at £127,500 for a studio, £173,750 for a one bedroom and £198,750 for a two bedroom apartment.

Hampton Tower, South Quay Plaza

Floor to ceiling windows throughout Hampton Tower’s one bedroom apartments create spectacular views across Canary Wharf in one direction and South Dock in the other. 

With both South Quay DLR and Canary Wharf tube stations in walking distance, homes at Hampton Tower offer a simple commute now benefiting from the Elizabeth line, as well as a variety of nearby options for shops, restaurants and entertainment including regular music events and art exhibitions.  

Set in an extensive 2.6 acres of landscaped communal gardens and moments away from the River Thames, these apartments provide plenty of opportunity to unwind after a long day in the city.

With prices starting at £131,250 for a 25% share, Shared Ownership at Hampton Tower offers a more affordable route to living in a luxurious and exclusive location.

The Moorings, Brentford

Surrounded by many of London’s most loved parks, including Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury Park, and situated in Brentford Lock on the Grand Union Canal, the one and two bedroom apartments offer space to escape from the busyness of city life while still offering access to central London in just over 30 minutes. 

With nearby access to both Boston Manor underground station and Brentford rail station, homes at The Moorings leave very little out of reach, also benefitting from a range of local amenities including shops, restaurants and outstanding schools. 

Events are held regularly on the communal rooftop gardens which allow for breathtaking views across the lock, and a play area at ground level means those with young families don’t have to stray far to burn off some energy.

For a 25% share at The Moorings, prices start at £96,250 for a one bedroom apartment and £131,250 for a two bedroom apartment.

Both Hampton Tower and The Moorings are included in LGAH’s Summer Deposit Boost scheme, meaning that LGAH will pay up to £5,000 towards costs upon Legal Completion if you reserve a property before October 31st 2022. More information can be found here.

Ben Denton, Chief Executive at Legal & General Affordable Homes, said; “We know how daunting the prospect of buying a house can be – especially in London where prices are continuing to skyrocket. Shared Ownership with Legal & General Affordable Homes makes owning a house that much more accessible and creates a level of security and freedom that renting can’t provide. 

“We’re really excited to be a lead sponsor of Shared Ownership Week. It’s a great opportunity for those looking to get on the housing ladder to learn more about the benefits of Shared Ownership and how they could afford to live in new build homes in these central locations.”
