A new start, in a new home
Martyn, a business consultant discovered Shared Ownership is not just for first time buyers, when he purchased his brand new one bed apartment at the stunning, boutique development, Wharf Road in Islington.
Prior to purchasing his new home, Martyn was renting a property in Islington and wanted to remain in the same area he had become accustomed to. Purchasing through Shared Ownership allowed Martyn to get onto the property ladder in his ideal location and at the right price point.
“Given the financial criteria and area that I wanted to live in, Shared Ownership was the best option. I was able to put down a deposit at a fraction of the average price for London and get myself a mortgage for a property I love. I also feel more secure now that I own my own home. There is always an element of uncertainty when renting, so to know that this is mine is a great feeling."

“I know this area really well, which is why I was so keen to stay put. I love living in the City as it is so convenient and the list of things to do is endless, especially in and around Islington – it’s one of the liveliest parts of town. There is a number of really good pubs local to me and I love the closeness to everything. The transport links are also great. I’m just a short walk away from Angel tube station and I’m not far from Kings Cross and St Pancras either.”
