Keith OsborneThe London Borough of Ealing is in the west of the capital and one of the largest in terms of population, with over 360,000 living there. It’s also one of the best connected by road and public transport and has plenty of shops, services, leisure facilities and public open spaces.
There’s a very active new build property market here, both in the open market and through Shared Ownership, so it suits a real range of budgets. Any special offers and deals mentioned here are subject to terms and conditions.
The best new homes for sale in Acton
In the eastern part of the borough, Acton benefits from a number of Tube stations and Acton Main Line, served by Great Western and the Elizabeth line. The area has some excellent green open spaces and a number of sports clubs.
Just five minutes from East Acton station and ten minutes from Westfield, Western Circus is a major development and while the open market apartments from Barratt London are now all sold out, there’s still an opportunity to use Shared Ownership with L&Q, offering a chance to ‘part buy-part rent’ a brand new home, requiring a much smaller deposit and mortgage than purchasing outright, with a subsidised rent on the share you don’t own. Prices start at £99,375 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment (full market price £397,500) and at £119,375 (full market value £477,500) for a 25% share of a two-bedroom/two-bedroom apartment.

Coming soon close to North Acton station is a redevelopment of the former Elizabeth Arden perfume factory by Telford Homes in conjunction with Notting Hill Genesis. Set over a number of towers, there will be a mix of private and affordable housing (including 60 homes available through Shared Ownership) as well as commercial and public realm space.
