VOYAGE, SOUTHHALL
Launching this autumn, Voyage is a brand new collection of Shared Ownership apartments by SNG (Sovereign Network Group). These one, two and three bedroom apartments will offer open-plan living areas, high quality fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, contemporary bathrooms and private balconies, complete with views across the London skyline. Residents at Voyage will be within walking distance to Southall station (Elizabeth Line) and the high street. The Grand Union Canal is also nearby, offering scenic walks, cycling routes, and wildlife spotting.
Reece , 25, has purchased a 25% share of a studio apartment at L&Q’s Rockcliffe Square, just five minutes from his family home. Recruitment Consultant Reece was determined to find a way to afford his own home without leaving the area he loved. Reece explains, “I’ve lived in this area my entire life. All my family are here, I know the neighbourhood inside out, and I really didn’t want to move miles away just to be able to afford something.” With the Elizabeth Line on his doorstep at Woolwich, Rockcliffe Square offered everything he needed, including fast connections into the city, a brand new home and a way to buy, rather than rent. “Renting just didn’t make sense to me,” Reece explains. “I knew I’d be paying a lot of money every month and not actually owning anything at the end of it.” Reece discovered Rockcliffe Square after spotting an open day advertised online. “I actually turned up not realising it was a sales event,” he recalls. As it turned out, he was so impressed by the tour, it was the first and last development he viewed. “It genuinely ticked every box,” he says. “The location, the price, the fact it was a new build – I didn’t feel the need to keep looking. Everything just fell into place.” “The openness really surprised me,” Reece says of his studio apartment. “It feels like a proper home, not just a small space. I’ve just done a massive IKEA trip and I’m in full ‘making it my own’ mode.” The private balcony, overlooking the podium gardens, is Reece’s favourite feature. Rockcliffe Square also works perfectly for Reece’s commute. “I work in Farringdon, so having the Elizabeth Line basically on the doorstep is a game changer,” he explains. Reece sees Rockcliffe Square as a home for the next five years, with plans to staircase in the future. But, for now, Reece has everything he hoped for. He concludes, “I’ve got my independence, my own space and I’m still close enough to pop back home for dinner when I fancy it.” I’ve got my independence, my own space and I’m still close enough to pop back home for dinner when I fancy it
