London Home Show Sponsors: Meet Abri Homes
Make your move with Abri Homes on the Elizabeth line
Since the launch of the Elizabeth line in 2022, locations across London and nearby commuting towns have seen a surge in popularity due to improved connectivity, which has caused a knock-on effect with rising house prices and private rents in the surrounding areas.
With Abri Homes, however, buying a well-connected property of your own could be much easier than you think. Shared Ownership lets you buy a share in your new home, starting from as little as 10% of the property’s value and pay a reduced rent on the rest. With Abri Homes’ developments along the Elizabeth line in Slough, Maidenhead and Reading, you don’t have to choose between affordability and convenience.
Connectivity, community and space to grow in Slough
Known as the best London commuter town[1], Slough offers a wealth of lifestyle benefits, such as fast access to the capital, excellent schools and ample green space. With the Elizabeth line you can reach London Paddington in just 31 minutes.
Abri Homes’ Horlicks Quarter, just a 10-minute walk from Slough Railway Station, offers a collection of one and two bedroom apartments located on the grounds of Slough’s former Horlicks Factory, where the famous Horlicks malted milk drink was once produced. Shared Ownership homes at the development start from £27,500 based on a 10% share of a one bedroom apartment with a full market value of £275,000.
Residents can enjoy a concierge, gym, cinema room, rooftop garden and lounge, and for work-from-home days, there is a dedicated coworking space. Horlicks Quarter is also just minutes from Slough’s high street shopping and restaurants, providing all the amenities you need right on the doorstep.
Sally, a first time buyer at Horlicks Quarter told us: “Living on the Elizabeth Line means I feel so close to the city – I almost don’t feel like I’m moving out of London. It’s the same commute as I used to do within the city, but now I have more space in a beautiful development.”
Maidenhead riverside living with an easy London commute
Abri Homes’ new development Ambia, in central Maidenhead is also ideally suited for London commuters looking for more space and a calmer lifestyle. The Elizabeth Line takes you directly to London Paddington in under 40 minutes.
With the average house price in Maidenhead reaching a peak of £584,542[2], the Shared Ownership homes at Ambia offer a more accessible route to homeownership. The one and two bedroom Shared Ownership apartments start from £95,375, based on a 35% share of a one bedroom apartment with a full market value of £272,500.
Nestled near the River Thames and a short walk from shops and great places to eat, Ambia gives you the perfect mix of nature, neighbourhood and convenience.
A smarter start for first time buyers in Reading
In Reading, the average first time buyer home has reached around £313,000[3], while Abri Homes’ collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments at Chatham Heights offers a more accessible way to put down roots.
Reading station is a quick walk from Chatham Heights, the Elizabeth line gets you to London Paddington in 44 minutes. Centrally located on Chatham Street, there are several shops, restaurants, gyms and entertainment all within easy reach. Some of the 42 new homes will even have parking – a rare find in the centre of town.
With Shared Ownership, these new homes provide an opportunity to purchase a high-quality home within the perfect commuting distance of the capital. First price release is expected this spring, register your interest to be kept up to date.
