Shared Ownership in North London
Walthamstow is known for its market with it being the longest outdoor market in Europe. There is still an old part of the town known as Walthamstow Village with it’s history going back to the Domesday book and the Norman conquest of 1066. The town is lively with lots of places to eat, drink and shop and well served by transport links with a number of both above and underground train stations within reach.
The wetlands or marshes are a site of special scientific interest and cover 91 acres. With rivers, reservoirs, lakes and canals there is lots of opportunity for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
Tottenham Hale is an area of London that is undergoing extensive regeneration and is moving from its industrial past into a lively and exciting place to live. Sitting on the Victoria underground line and the West Anglia main line means that access to the rest of London and further afield is practical and easy.
The regeneration of the area has lead to new public squares with restaurants and bars, new cinema and shops and of course the new football stadium. Something for everyone and still only a 5 minute walk to the peace and nature of the wetlands.
Meridian Water is part of Enfield Council’s lead regeneration project creating 10,000 Homes and 6,000 Jobs. Located next door to the Lee Valley Regional Park, Meridian Water brings nature onto your doorstep.
Complete with a bustling high street, the Local community can enjoy Waterside public spaces alongside the banks of the River Lee. Connected to London via a series of public transport links including the brand-new Meridian Water Train Station providing Connections to London Liverpool Street, Stratford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge.
Alongside attractive new homes and world class public spaces and community facilities, the development now has its own brand new railway station, unlocking the area for commuters, with better connections south to Stratford and London Liverpool Street and north to Stansted and Cambridge.
Shared Ownership in North London: How could it help you?
Shared Ownership is a ‘part buy, part rent’ way of owning your own home for a smaller upfront payment – making it easier for buyers to get on the property ladder.
So, what does ‘Shared Ownership’ mean? When buying a Shared Ownership home, initially you can buy anywhere between 25% and 75% of the home (or sometimes 10%). You would take out a mortgage for the share you are buying, or in some cases you can be a cash buyer. On the outstanding percentage of the property that you don’t yet own, you pay a subsidised rent.
The combined monthly mortgage and rent payments are often less than if you were to buy the home outright and can sometimes be less than if you were renting.
Shared Ownership makes buying your dream home a quicker and easier process in sought after locations such as Barking.
