Where to buy a bargain on a budget in London
One of the great things about London is that it's always evolving. As a result you can find an area going from being undesirable one day to the place to be the next.
Likewise, one way to buying an apartment in a 'cool' part of town is to buy into an area which has not yet reached its full potential. Shared Ownership can help you do that. Here's some examples of properties in Newham, Lambeth and New Southgate, all available through Notting Hill Housing, that are incredible value made even more affordable through Shared Ownership.
