Putting homeownership within easier reach, those who reserve a new Shared Ownership home at selected developments between the 2nd – 31st January will receive up to £5,000 towards their buying costs, plus £1,000 in vouchers after moving in. The incentive maintains L&Q’s commitment to supporting new buyers; a goal that saw over 1,100 households helped onto the property ladder throughout 2023.

The New Year Shared Ownership incentive will be available across selected L&Q developments both in and outside of London, catering for buyers across a wide geographical area.

Shared Ownership allows people to secure a new home with a lower deposit through buying a percentage share of a property and paying a reduced rent on the unowned portion. Prices for L&Q’s Shared Ownership homes start from just £65,000 for a 25% share, with deposits as low as £3,250. Already an affordable stepping stone to homeownership, L&Q’s New Year incentive will further ease initial costs for new purchasers, and provide support for them to kit out their new home once they have the keys.

Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, comments, “Our New Year campaign has been conceived to enable more people to turn the dream of buying a home into reality in 2024. Our incentives provide additional support to first-time buyers and those looking to secure a home through Shared Ownership.*”

“As one of the UK’s largest housing associations, we are pleased to be able to offer an incentive of up to £5,000* towards buying costs throughout January across many of our developments in London, Cambridge, Bedfordshire and Reading.”
