On-the-doorstep Tube connection - convenient living at Leaside Lock

During the prolonged Covid pandemic, the UK property market saw a flurry of activity as people living in urban areas moved home to enjoy the extra space and more peaceful surroundings of the countryside. However, more recently, the shift to hybrid working has seen a new demand for moving back to London and especially to developments in areas with excellent public transport services on the doorstep.   

Leaside Lock, from Guinness Homes, fits the bill perfectly, being located within walking distance direct from the development to Bromley-by-Bow station, which is served by the Hammersmith & City and District lines. Here, the benefits of short direct journey times to the likes of Liverpool Street Monument/Bank and Westminster can be enjoyed in under 25 minutes by tube through the affordable route of Shared Ownership, with only seven high-quality homes still available on the current phase. These two-bedroom apartments start from £122,500 for a 25% share.

By purchasing through Shared Ownership, buyers could benefit from requiring a lower initial deposit and monthly mortgage requirements when compared to those of a comparable apartment on the open market.

London Sales Manager at Guinness Homes, Hellyn Fairbrother, comments, “It has been excellent to see the huge popularity of our Shared Ownership homes in Bromley-by-Bow, and we’re excited to welcome new buyers to the Leaside Lock community. Already proven popular with those in search of an alternative route onto the property ladder, we’re expecting high levels of interest for our final remaining homes in the current phase.”
