01 Feb First Shared Ownership homes available at Enfield Electric Quarter in Enfield
The first 28 Shared Ownership homes at the new Electric Quarter development in Ponders End, EN3 4SA, are now available, offering an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers to get onto the housing ladder in this popular North London neighbourhood.
The contemporary one- and two-bedroom properties are being marketed by first-time buyer agent Red Loft, on behalf of Enfield Council. The homes form part of the second phase of the development, completed in December 2021. Electric Quarter will ultimately deliver a major mixed tenure regeneration scheme providing 167 much needed homes as well as brand-new commercial and retail spaces, a nursery and public library.
Initially, the new apartments will be launched to people who currently live and/or work locally. With deposits starting from £4,313,* the new homes provide an affordable route onto the property ladder in Enfield – an area recently tipped as one of the top 10 capital neighbourhoods for house price growth in 2021.
Wendy Hegarty, Partner at Red Loft, comments: “We are thrilled to be selling the new Shared Ownership homes at Electric Quarter, which forms part of the wider projects that are transforming Ponders End High Street and welcoming new residents to this rapidly growing area. We expect to see high levels of interest from young professionals seeking well-connected, modern apartments. This new launch of properties at Electric Quarter is really just the start – the team at Red Loft are looking forward to continuing our partnership with Enfield Council to deliver many more new homes to the local market in the next couple of years.”
Enfield Council Leader Cllr Nesil Caliskan said: “We are committed to providing as many affordable homes in the borough as possible. Electric Quarter is a fantastic development that will give residents the opportunity to take their first step towards home ownership. Our bold house building programme is on track to deliver thousands of new, quality homes in well connected, thriving neighbourhoods for people on a range of incomes.”
