One of the leading providers of quality homes across London and the Home Counties, Network Homes has a portfolio of over 20,000 properties, and over 40 years’ experience of building affordable homes.
Network Homes offers a wide range of homes, suitable for everyone from first-time buyers, young professionals, growing families and downsizers. Network Homes offers home for sale available on the Shared Ownership scheme. This is when the buyer purchases between 25% and 75% of the market value of the home with a deposit and mortgage, and pays a subsidised rent on the remaining percentage. The homeowner has the opportunity to buy an increased share of the property later on.
Many Network Homes properties are also available to purchase using the Help to Buy scheme, where the buyer can put down just a 5% deposit, and the government provides a 20% equity loan, which is interest-free for five years, so the purchaser only needs to secure a mortgage for 75% of the property value.
Network Homes is an award-winning housing association, with several prestigious WhatHouse? Awards to its name. In 2017, it won Gold in the Best Starter Homes scheme for its development The Crescent, and took both the Gold and the Bronze in 2016 for the same category. Also in 2016, it took Gold for Best Housing Association, a category it won Bronze for in 2015.
Sustainability is an important part of Network Homes, and all of its new homes comply with the Homes and Communities Agency’s energy efficiency and carbon emission requirements. This has been recognised with awards, including Residential Development of the Year at the Estates Gazette Green Awards for an eco-home development. Where possible, it tries to build homes that will keep buyers utility bills lower.
