Croydon Cool: L&Q offers variety of affordable homes in south London regeneration hub
One of five London boroughs to secure funding from the Civic Partnership Programme (CPP), Croydon is becoming a popular choice for hopeful buyers in the capital’s southeast.*
The CPP is a £12.85m grant-funding programme, £814,000 of which is going towards the regeneration of Surrey Street Market. More widely, the Delivering for Croydon programme is currently in swing – a £5.25 billion regeneration program that aims to develop Croydon town centre, improve infrastructure and more.**
Delivering affordable homes amidst all the action, housing association L&Q is offering a variety of two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership homes at Addiscombe Oaks. Available in a range of different floor plans to suit any buyer, homes at this new development offer an opportunity to step onto the property ladder for young professionals and families alike. For those not quite ready to buy, L&Q is also offering a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom London Living Rent apartments close by at L&Q at Queen’s Quarter.
Helping to further ease the financial pinch of moving, L&Q will pay for up to three-moths rent for customers who reserve a two or three-bedroom home at Addiscombe Oaks before 30th November. Also on offer at the development, new residents will receive a 3-year free Zipcar membership and £60 driving credit, helping them to navigate the capital with ease.***
Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q comments, “Croydon is truly becoming a vibrant neighbourhood in the capital’s southeast. With its ongoing regeneration, excellent transport links, and growing sense of community, it’s no wonder that Croydon is attracting so much interest.”
“At Addiscombe Oaks, we’re thrilled to offer homes that make homeownership more accessible for young professionals and families, providing an ideal base for those who want to be a part of this dynamic area’s future.”
