Shared ownership opportunity for first-time buyers
Shared ownership on the River Thames is now an option for a few Londoners – all of whom are likely to be first-time buyers – with the development of flats at an exclusive site on the Greenwich Peninsula.
The Platinum Riverside apartment block initially went on sale around two years ago and attracted buyers from destinations as far afield as China, Russia, UAE, Hong Kong and Singapore. Now, in line with housing rules, the developers, Bellway Homes, are now offering first-time buyers on incomes no greater than £50,000 the opportunity to buy into a shared ownership scheme.
