Homes near green spaces with Share to Buy

Ninety-one percent of people believe that living near open spaces improves their quality of life*, a study from CABE has found. Ever-popular with buyers, green spaces can increase property values by up to 35%*, meaning that homes in prime locations, next to parks and open spaces, or developments that include shared green space, can often feel out of reach to many first time buyers due to the price premium they can charge.

Often requiring a much lower deposit than buying on the open market, schemes such as Shared Ownership offer high-quality homes in prime locations across the capital, with a huge number of properties located just a hop, skip and a jump away from green space.

Showcasing the best of affordable homes, leading Shared Ownership property portal Share to Buy offers a wide selection of homes with open spaces across London.
