As much as we’re obsessed with London, we’re the first to admit that it can be almost impossible for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder. Astronomical prices across boroughs, a fiercely competitive market and flaky agents on every corner mean only the thick-skinned need apply.
There’s got to be a better way, right? Correct. Thankfully, Pocket is quietly revolutionising the industry by offering middle-earners 100% home ownership at a 20% discount.
So, how does that work?
Helping those they call ‘city makers’ – the young people who make our city tick day in, day out – Pocket offers well-designed, compact, no-frills homes with low service charges in areas of the city you might think are out of reach. Think trendy-wendy Walthamstow. Middle-class Finchley. And up-and-coming East Croydon.
You simply have to meet the simple criteria, which includes living and working in the UK, earning an annual income of no more than £90,000 and not already owning a residential property.
Tick, tick, tick? Then you’re eligible to move on up in this city, people. Run, don’t walk.
