The 2024 autumn home buying market is off to a busy start. With summer over, children back to school, a new government and the Base Rate cut in August, many people are experiencing an increased appetite for a new home, with the number of home sales up by 27% compared to this same period last year.*

Helping first time buyers step onto the property ladder in the southeast of the capital this autumn, L&Q is offering a new collection of two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership homes at Addiscombe Oaks, Croydon. Supporting buyers further, the leading developer is offering a £500 Ikea voucher to customers who reserve here before 13th October, as well as up to £4,000 towards buying costs.**

An opportunity to tour the available homes and development, L&Q is hosting a viewing day event at Addiscombe Oaks on Saturday 5th October, between 10am and 5pm. Guests can speak to the sales team, learn more about the scheme and the Shared Ownership offering there whilst enjoying complimentary refreshments from a local bakery.

Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q comments, “We have seen an uplift in enquires at Addiscombe Oaks in recent weeks. The busy period of summer is over, and home seekers are keen to move into a new home before Christmas.

“The upcoming October viewing day at Addiscombe Oaks will provide a great chance for budding buyers to explore their home buying options with us. What’s more, the autumn incentive of help towards buying costs and a £500 Ikea voucher provides a much needed helping hand to first time buyers.”
