Now’s the time to consider moving into a Shared Ownership home
One, two and three bedroom apartments available through Shared Ownership
As we start the new year, it’s the perfect moment to think about a fresh start and a place to call your own. If you’ve been considering a move to London or the surrounding areas, you might be wondering how to make it happen without overextending yourself.
While London offers unmatched culture and opportunities, the cost of buying outright or renting privately can feel out of reach for many. That’s where Shared Ownership from Southern Housing can help, offering a secure, achievable way to take those first steps towards owning a home.
Here’s a look at three beautiful new communities with Shared Ownership homes available, where you could be putting your feet up and saying, “I’m home” in no time.
West Acre Square, Southall
Imagine coming home to comfort, community and green space. Part of The Green Quarter by Berkeley – a collection of homes celebrated as one of the UK’s most biodiverse builds. With studio, one, and two bedroom homes, West Acre Square is modern living reimagined.
Modern homes designed for comfort
Each home at West Acre Square features underfloor heating, integrated kitchen appliances, and private terraces or balconies. Spacious rooms for a London new-build apartment with carefully thought-out built-in storage spaces, offering the perfect blend of style and practicality.
Urban living surrounded by nature
Step into 13 acres of parkland with 2,500 new trees right on your doorstep. This sustainable green haven offers a peaceful retreat while being just moments from Southall’s vibrant energy, making it perfect for your big nights out, big adventure walks, and your big nights in.
Unrivalled amenities
A standout feature is Parkside Yards, Southall’s new creative hub. Enjoy dining at a café or pizzeria, explore the ceramics studio, or shop at the lifestyle store. With a tree nursery, woodland trail, and play area, it’s perfect for families and nature lovers alike.
Perfectly connected
Southall Crossrail station puts you just eight minutes from Heathrow (the money you save on rent could always mean more holidays in the future) and 17 minutes from Central London via the Elizabeth line, perfect for those commuting or looking to spend their free time exploring the capital. Local buses also provide easy access to Southall Broadway and beyond, making travel simple and convenient.
A vibrant community
Southall’s rich cultural heritage is reflected in its diverse dining and shopping options, from bustling markets to modern retail stores and restaurants offering cuisines from around the world.
