Across central London, shared-ownership developments are unlocking Zone 1 and 2 areas many first-time buyers (FTBs) had given up on.
Affordability caps mean the scheme doesn’t stack up in London’s ultra prime neighbourhoods — wave goodbye to the idea of a little flat in Belgravia or Marylebone — but, while not without compromises, shared ownership allows buyers to find a first flat for a fraction of this, even in Zones 1 and 2.
