Rising rents, increasing living costs and house prices at nearly 11 times average earnings mean many Londoners feel stuck renting and priced out of traditional homeownership.
A free lunchtime webinar from Guinness Homes will explore whether Shared Ownership could offer another route onto the property ladder.
Locked out of London? How Shared Ownership Could Get You Moving This Autumn takes place online from 12pm to 1pm on Wednesday 9 September.
Shared Ownership explained by industry specialists
Guinness Homes Sales Manager and former Shared Owner Lauren Parfitt will be joined by Anthony Hall, Director at Censeo Financial.
Together, they will separate fact from fiction, examine the real costs of renting and buying, and explain how Shared Ownership works.
The webinar will cover:
- Why so many Londoners feel locked out of homeownership
- The facts behind current housing affordability headlines
- Renting versus buying and the costs involved
- How Shared Ownership works
- Who may be eligible for Shared Ownership
- The benefits of Shared Ownership
- Common misconceptions, including questions about affordability and service charges
- The Shared Ownership buying journey
- How to become a founding resident at Argenta in Silvertown
Whether you are beginning your property search or are ready to make your move, the session will help you consider whether Shared Ownership could support your plans this autumn.
