Welcome to Peabody

We aim to make a positive difference for thousands of first-time buyers and continue our ongoing commitment to our communities. We place great emphasis on amenities such as outdoor space, roof gardens, fitness areas and co-working facilities, because a home is more than just a place to live.

Read a collection of home owner stories from Peabody and discover how we were able to support them onto the property ladder through Shared Ownership and London Help To Buy.

We challenged 3 super talented Interior Design influencer's to decorate 3 of our empty Peabody apartments. Using their creative flair, we're excited to see how the space was transformed and filled with energy and character.

Shared Ownership is a part buy/part rent scheme that makes it possible for first time buyers to purchase a property that otherwise would not have been affordable. It is a government-backed scheme launched in 2006 for people who are unable to afford to buy a home at full market value.

Help to Buy is a Government backed scheme that assists buyers with an equity loan of up to 40% of the property purchase price when buying in London.

Rent to Buy allows you to rent a new home at a 20% discount, allowing you to save for a deposit and own your home through Shared Ownership after 2 years.

Peabody builds architecturally intelligent and beautifully designed homes with impressive specifications on the open market.

Peabody has over 150 years of history, experience and expertise. With over 55,000 homes, we are one of the largest housing providers in London and the south-east.

Buying through Shared Ownership with Peabody will make you a leaseholder. Read more about what it means to be a leaseholder.
