Award-winning affordable provider Square Roots is planning a great start to 2025 with a new year, new home incentive to give first time buyers a boost
weddings in London, India and Poland – moving into their first home in time to celebrate their UK wedding. They are now living at Square Roots Lewisham, a 100% affordable development in Lewisham town centre in a new riverside quarter. They had both been renting and decided to buy and pursue the shared ownership route. They bought a 25% share and they are planning to staircase to 100% outright ownership over the coming years. Adam said, “The idea of shared ownership appealed to us and helped us find our forever home. Square Roots stood out for being the most informative about its shared ownership scheme. We particularly appreciated its shared ownership calculator, which was an invaluable tool in helping us determine what we could afford.” Adam, from Poland, and Samika, from India, had a UK wedding celebration in the summer in their new home, just a few days after moving in. The Indian wedding followed in the autumn, with a wedding in Poland planned for May 2025. Adam said, “Our apartment at Square Roots Lewisham has two bedrooms, great living space and a private balcony. It’s really spacious and we are going use the second bedroom as a home office. I mainly work from home and commute into the office in the city once a week, so it’s great to have both Lewisham and Ladywell stations within easy walking distance.” Thanks to the shared ownership scheme, Adam and Samika are paying the same monthly outgoings for their two bedroom apartment as they were renting a one bedroom apartment. Prices at Square Roots Lewisham start from £102,500, with a 25% minimum share.
There are fast transport links from Hendon and Colindale underground stations and National Rail links to King’s Cross St Pancras in 19 minutes. The area has Ofsted-rated Outstanding primary schools at The Hyde School and St Robert Southwell Catholic School, with highly rated secondary schools. The Welsh Harp covers 340 acres and features a sailing and canoe club, with paddle boarding and kayaking available. Hampstead Heath is a 15-minute drive, with its open air bathing ponds and wild acres of woodlands and heath, and there are great restaurants and bars in Hampstead village. Square Roots is the independent housing provider established by award-winning developer London Square, which now has high-quality affordable homes underway in Bexley, Lewisham, Kingston, and Barnet.
