An exciting chance for first-time buyers to find a new home in a pioneering new East London neighbourhood, L&Q at Brunel Street Works is a contemporary collection of one to three bedroom apartments and mews houses available through Shared Ownership.
Shared Ownership is a part-buy, part-rent scheme which allows first-time buyers to purchase a percentage share of a property, usually between 25pc and 75pc, while paying rent on the unowned share.
Deposits are often as low as 5pc of the share price, and buyers only require a mortgage for the share they are purchasing.
As and when they can afford to, purchasers can buy more shares of their home through a process called ‘staircasing’, until they own their home outright.

Each home features a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, with fully integrated appliances included as standard whilst underfloor heating adds an extra touch of luxury.
