L&Q provides homeownership opportunities for tenants and buyers in Barnet

Meeting the call for affordable housing opportunities, L&Q at Brent Cross Town is a collection of Shared Ownership and London Living Rent (LLR) homes in this north London hotspot. Priority was initially given to local people, living or working within the London Borough of Barnet. However, homes at this in-demand development are now open to applications from all customers.

Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme that helps people buy a share of their new home and pay rent on the remaining portion. As a Shared Owner’s financial situation improves, they can buy a larger share in their home until they own it outright. London Living Rent has been designed as a stepping-stone to homeownership, enabling eligible customers to rent a home at a discounted rate whilst putting savings aside towards a deposit. Giving tenants flexibility, it is possible to go on to buy the home in which you already live, through Shared Ownership or, alternatively, a different property on the open market.

The new collections of two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership apartments and two-bedroom LLR apartments form part of the vast regeneration of the area. The new ‘town’ built with wellbeing in mind will see over 7,000 homes delivered to Brent Cross. Set to be a cornerstone of one of Europe's largest regeneration projects, Barnet Council's ambitious regeneration redefines Brent Cross into a dynamic new London district; an array of community facilities, shops and green spaces are being brought forward alongside the homes.

Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q comments: “Our Shared Ownership and LLR homes at L&Q at Brent Cross Town are open to a London-wide audience, helping more budding buyers onto the property ladder in this neighbourhood. The town has the aim to be carbon net zero by 2030, which is increasingly important in an era when property hunters are valuing sustainability and energy efficiency.”
