Private Sale Homes by Peabody
Peabody are one of the largest housing associations in the UK with a selection of homes throughout London and the South East. There are many ways to buy a home with us and one of them is through Private Sale, where you buy a property that is available with Peabody, on the open market.
Peabody homes are built for communities and neighbourhoods across London. The majority of our new build properties are thoughtfully designed by architects, innovative and made to last. We aim to provide practical and attractive outdoor spaces which enhance our developments and help make homes that buyers will be proud of and want to live in for a long time.
When developing new build homes in London we keep our buyer in mind and work in close partnership with designers and builders, paying particular attention to detail and quality of materials, fit and finish of the home. We consider every aspect of a development to ensure that we create desirable and functional spaces for first time buyers, young professionals and families.
Our exceptional track record in sustainability is central to all of our homes we build, and we aim to build to a higher than minimum level when it comes to the Code for Sustainable Homes. Many of our new developments are awarded with Level 4 certificates, while the current minimum is
Level 3.

The Help to Buy equity loan limit was raised from 20% to 40% of the properties purchase value for homes in all London boroughs to reflect the higher property values seen across London.
Buyers who are eligible for Help to Buy will need to contribute as little as a 5% deposit on a newly built home and your Help to Buy mortgage will make up the rest after the 40% equity loan.
