Shared Ownership is increasingly becoming an important part of the homebuying experience for many house-hunters across the UK, with 250,000 Shared Ownership households now recorded across the country (up from 202,000 in 2020)[1]. In London in particular, the Government-backed scheme is seen as the lifeline between getting onto the property ladder, and being stuck in the rental cycle. When the first phase of homes at Quartoria by SNG (Sovereign Network Group) was launched in 2024, all 22 homes were snapped up in the first month by eager buyers in London. Now, the housing association is proud to announce the launch of the highly-anticipated second phase of Shared Ownership homes at this New Barnet development, in a bid to help more Londoners onto the property ladder.
A carefully curated collection of one and two bedroom Shared Ownership apartments, the second phase at Quartoria appeals to a wide range of buyers, from young professionals taking their first steps onto the property ladder, to growing young families in search of a place to call home. Apartment interiors feature bold, contemporary design with light-filled living spaces. All homes come complete with a private balcony or a terrace, and every home comes with its own dedicated parking space, whether undercroft or bay.
Kalumba Musambachime, Head of Sales for London and East at SNG, comments: “The overwhelming response to our first phase at Quartoria was a promising start which we are excited to build on with phase two. These apartments will offer designs that cater to buyers at every stage of life, and are another exciting chance to buy in a highly sought-after London neighbourhood with brilliant commuter links. At SNG, we are proud to create affordable homes for the future, prioritising placemaking and community every step of the way. We’d encourage anyone seeking to purchase through shared ownership within a thriving new community to register their interest in phase two soon.”
For homebuyers in the capital looking to bridge village charm and city convenience, New Barnet sits beautifully between the energy of Central London and the idyllic rural landscapes of Hertfordshire. For evenings out close to home, the Grade II listed Everyman Cinema on Great North Road is a short stroll away, offering the latest releases in suitably stylish surroundings. Independent artisan café Urban Grind is just around the corner for those who take their morning coffee seriously, while a Sainsbury’s superstore and PureGym ensure that everyday essentials are always on hand.
New Barnet also benefits from close proximity to popular Whetstone and Cockfosters, both with exciting culinary scenes. In Whetstone, The French Market is a true neighbourhood gem: an artisanal bakery, fine food and wine shop that has been delighting locals since 2021, headed up by baker Ludovic Fritz who honed his craft training alongside some of France’s finest Boulangers. Over in Cockfosters, the dining scene is equally impressive, with the family-run warmth of Derayile and Lizzie’s Cucina sitting alongside the award-winning Skewd Kitchen, between them offering something for every mood and occasion.
For those who love the outdoors, New Barnet delivers the best of both worlds. Trent Country Park offers 413 acres of diverse landscape, while Monken Hadley Common provides over 70 hectares of semi-natural deciduous woodland, open glades and open grassland to explore. Both are ideal for walkers, runners and nature lovers alike. Just around the corner from Quartoria, Victoria Recreation Ground remains a go-to for a morning stroll or an evening run, with an outdoor gym, multi-sports court and children’s play area on site. With New Barnet Leisure Centre and Library also nearby, there is no shortage of ways to stay active and connected on the doorstep.
Quartoria is well connected by road and rail, with both the A1 and M25 within easy reach for those travelling by car. New Barnet station is just 0.6 miles away, offering Great Northern and Thameslink services that reach Highbury and Islington in 18 minutes and Moorgate in around 30 minutes. For Underground connections, Cockfosters station provides Piccadilly line services towards Kings Cross and Leicester Square. Residents also benefit from a range of off-street and undercroft parking options at the development itself.
Prices at Quartoria start from £90,625 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment. Priority will be given to people who live or work in the London Borough of Barnet. For more information visit, https://sales.sng.org.uk/developments/quartoria.
