Homes in the South East Under £100K

According to the Office for National Statistics, proximity to London is one of the most important factors driving up house prices,* meaning properties in the capital and its satellite counties often come with a significant price premium. The city and the surrounding suburbs are often considered to be highly desirable places to live, with the average property in London, Surrey and Hertfordshire currently sitting at £732,933, £663,588 and £570,263 respectively. **

Providing much-needed relief for house hunters in the South East, Shared Ownership is a scheme that allows eligible first time buyers the opportunity to purchase shares (typically between 25% – 75%) in a property, and pay subsidised rent on the remaining portion. The part-buy part-rent scheme offers an alternative route onto the property ladder in a number of popular areas that would otherwise be out of reach to many budding buyers.

Helping first time buyers put down roots, leading property portal Share to Buy have rounded up five developments currently listed on sharetobuy.com that can be purchased in London or the Home Counties for less than £100,000 through the Shared Ownership scheme.
