Limited-Time Offer On New Slough Shared Ownership Apartments

Housing provider Sovereign is currently selling a collection of one- and two bedroom apartments through Shared Ownership at Horlicks Quarter in Slough and for a limited time only, buyers that reserve selected apartments are offered a £2,000 incentive.

Horlicks Quarter – on the site of the iconic Horlicks Factory – is the first major housing-led town centre development to emerge under Slough’s ambitious investment plans. It is located just seven minutes’ walk from the town’s main railway station from where the quickest service into central London takes just 15 minutes.

Prices for a Shared Ownership home at Horlicks Quarter start from £70,000 for a 25% share in a one-bedroom apartment (based on a full market value of £280,000), with deposits starting from just 5% of the agreed share value. Current homes set around a central courtyard garden and most have a balcony overlooking it. Residents have access to the Horlicks Quarter car club for a cost-effective and environmentally conscious way to access car usage, and there’s ample cycle storage too.

Surrounded by landscaped grounds, Horlicks Quarter will comprise a total of 1,300 new homes when complete. The original clocktower and chimney are distinctive landmarks of the former factory, reimagined alongside contemporary designs to create an inclusive and welcoming environment. There is an on-site day-care nursery, café, public piazza and a network of footpaths and cycleways.

Lisa Moran, sales & marketing director at Sovereign, commented: “Slough represents a pocket of affordability compared to the surrounding Home Counties towns in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, and its transport links are second to none, making it an attractive proposition for buyers. As the town’s extensive regeneration unfolds, it is not only gaining new shops, leisure attractions and facilities, but vibrancy and appeal as a place to live and enjoy leisure time. Horlicks Quarter is already becoming an established community, but we’re pleased still to have a collection of Shared Ownership apartments available for first-time buyers, which are ready to be moved into.”

Primary School teacher Hamzah Khan, 27, recently purchased an apartment at Horlicks Quarter. He commented: “I thought I was years away from buying a home in Slough, and renting was too expensive to even be an option. Shared Ownership is the perfect middle ground, even though you’re paying rent and a mortgage, it’s still £200-£300 cheaper than renting in the area. Shared Ownership was the best way onto the property ladder for a young person like me with a family. And I’ll have the flexibility to buy a greater share of my home as and when my circumstances allow, which is a good benefit.”

As a station on the Elizabeth line, Slough has direct connections to Reading, Heathrow, the West End, Canary Wharf and all the way out to Essex. For car users, motorway access is easy with the M4, M40 and M25 all close by, as well as Heathrow Airport on the doorstep for worldwide travel. Find out more at www.sovereignliving.org.uk.
