L&Q | PRIME POINT

Prime Point at Greenwich Peninsula is a landmark new development by L&Q that successfully combines high-quality design with genuine affordability; notably, 70% of homes are affordable, with the vast majority of purchasers to date being first time buyers. Comprising 476 homes in a prime Zone 2/3 London location, and offering panoramic views across the capital, the scheme offers a diverse mix of affordable tenures, including Shared Ownership and London Living Rent. Architecturally distinctive, the development features striking bronze-framed towers alongside more intimate residential buildings set within landscaped surroundings. High construction standards and energy-efficient design help reduce long-term living costs. Beyond the homes, residents benefit from strong transport links, extensive local amenities and thoughtfully designed communal spaces, fostering a vibrant community. With deposits starting from just £8,600, Prime Point demonstrates how well-designed, sustainable housing can remain attainable in one of London’s most desirable areas.

SOUTHERN HOUSING NEW HOMES | WHARF TWENTY ONE

Wharf Twenty One in Shoreham-by-Sea is a transformative riverside development by Southern Housing New Homes, delivering genuinely affordable homes to this major regeneration scheme on the South Coast. Remarkably, 100% of homes in early phases were offered as affordable housing, including Shared Ownership options that enable buyers to step on to the ladder with low deposits and competitive monthly costs. The success can be seen through the high proportion of first time buyers and local residents who now live at Wharf Twenty One. Set along the River Adur, the development has revitalised a formerly inaccessible industrial site into a vibrant waterfront community. The scheme combines strong architectural design – drawing on local art deco heritage – with practical, modern interiors and resilient materials suited to the coastal environment. Beyond housing, Wharf Twenty One enhances community life through new public spaces, a riverside promenade and future commercial amenities, while excellent transport links and access to both coast and countryside make it a highly desirable place to live.

BELLWAY NORTH LONDON | FORSTER PARK, STEVENAGE

Bellway has made buying a highly energy-efficient new house – with a beautiful new country park on the doorstep and within easy commuting distance of central London – attainable for first time buyers in Stevenage at its Forster Park development. Two and three bedroom houses make up more than three-quarters of the private homes being built by Bellway at the 400-home development, with 49% of customers to date those taking their first step on the property ladder. The development also includes a new local centre, with a Tesco Express already open, and a 90-acre country park inspired by the writings of EM Forster, whose childhood home is situated within the neighbouring conservation area. Bellway is also helping to fund the construction of a new primary school. Forster Park pays homage to the past while creating a new community which will provide homes for first time buyers in Stevenage now and into the future.
