Tired of renting? Shared Ownership could be more affordable than you think.

Let’s be honest - trying to save up for a house deposit while paying rent each month can feel like running on a treadmill that never stops. With rents rising across the region, many would-be buyers are finding it tough to get ahead. But that’s where Shared Ownership could really make a difference.

At Horlicks Quarter in Slough, you could get on the property ladder with a deposit from just £3,562.50.* That’s based on buying a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment, and needing just a 5% deposit of that share to get started. It’s a great option if you’re feeling priced out of the market.

With London's increasing rental costs, it’s no surprise more people are heading out of the capital in search of more affordable living, with places like Slough becoming real hotspots. You still get a quick commute into London thanks to the Elizabeth Line, but without the eye-watering monthly rent.

Renting a one bedroom home in Ealing could cost you over £1,600 a month^. Move 20 minutes further along the Elizabeth Line to Horlicks Quarter, and you could be paying around £990.41 a month.*

That’s a saving of over £600 each month, and it’s money that could go towards your future instead of your rent.

Even compared to the average rent in Slough (currently about £1,238 a month^) you could still save roughly £247.59 a month* by choosing Horlicks Quarter through Shared Ownership.

It’s a move that’s already working out for first-time buyers like Tabrez and Malika, who left the rental cycle in West London behind and bought a 30% share in a two bedroom apartment at Horlicks Quarter. They’re now saving around £300 a month, and their bills are half what they used to pay.

“Our long-term plan is to take that £300 that we’re now saving and put it towards building a fund which allows us to buy a larger share of the apartment from Abri.”

And that’s exactly how Shared Ownership works. Over time, you can buy more shares in your home through a process called staircasing, all at your own pace and when it suits your budget. The more of your home you own, the less rent you’ll pay to Abri.

More and more people are turning to Shared Ownership as a way to make homeownership possible and affordable. Discover how it could help you call Horlicks Quarter home.
