Constantin and his wife, Andreea, had been living in Crawley in West Sussex for almost a decade.

Constantin comments: \u201cWe were renting in Crawley for 9 years – 9 years longer than planned!<\/em> Our apartment was right on a really noisy main road \u2013 lots of cars and lots of shouting from people on nights out. At times it didn\u2019t feel very secure and the area just wasn\u2019t right for us.

\u201cWe were on a weekend getaway and were driving back home via Reading in Berkshire. My wife\u2019s company have an office in Reading, so we thought we\u2019d drop in and check out the area and see where all of her colleagues were living. We arrived in Reading and thought, \u2018Wow. This is <\/em>not Crawley!\u2019. We loved it straight away.\u201d<\/em> \u201cThe lease on our rental property was ending in a few months, so the timings were perfect. Andreea did a lot of research on Zoopla for apartments in the area, and the first one we found was a Shared Ownership apartment at L&Q at Bankside Gardens. It was the first property we went to view, and it was a bullseye.\u201d<\/em> Constantin and Andreea have recently purchased a 25% share of a 2-bedroom apartment at L&Q at Bankside Gardens in Reading, for \u00a396,414 (full market value \u00a3387,500<\/span>).<\/p>\n","cta_link_type":"none","cta_link":null,"cta_file":false,"cta_email":"","cta_link_text":"Find Out More"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_media","text_media_background_colour":"primary","component_margins":[],"text_media_alignment":"right","text_media_media_type":"image","text_media_image":{"ID":464,"id":464,"title":"20240426-SA900725","filename":"20240426-SA900725.jpg","filesize":"395802","url":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725.jpg","link":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/meet-constantin-andreea-testimonial\/20240426-sa900725\/","alt":"","author":"91","description":"","caption":"","name":"20240426-sa900725","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":461,"date":"2024-05-06 14:34:01","modified":"2024-05-06 14:34:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2048,"height":1365,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"banner":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-1980x1320.jpg","banner-width":1980,"banner-height":1320,"floorplan":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-1200x800.jpg","floorplan-width":1200,"floorplan-height":800,"text_media":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-590x393.jpg","text_media-width":590,"text_media-height":393,"card-sm":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-290x170.jpg","card-sm-width":290,"card-sm-height":170,"featured-plots-thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900725-675x450.jpg","featured-plots-thumbnail-width":675,"featured-plots-thumbnail-height":450}},"text_media_gallery":false,"text_media_youtube":null,"text_media_tour_url":"","text_media_title":"","text_media_text":"

Explaining how they knew the development was right for them, Constantin continues: \u201cMy first impression of L&Q at Bankside Gardens was the lovely, secluded location. It\u2019s so quiet and calm.\u201d<\/em> \u201cWe were also really impressed with the development\u2019s amenities \u2013 it\u2019s got a brand-new gym, a concierge service and a private cinema room, plus there is so much green space around.\u201d<\/em> \u201cThe apartment itself is wonderful. I\u2019d always wanted a home with my own outdoor space \u2013 I had an image in my head of myself sitting on a balcony in summer with a glass of scotch in my hand. When we walked into the show home, I immediately clocked the balcony, which looks out over the skyline of Bankside Gardens, and I was sold. That\u2019s my happy place now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","cta_link_type":"none","cta_link":null,"cta_file":false,"cta_email":"","cta_link_text":"Find Out More"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_media","text_media_background_colour":"primary","component_margins":[],"text_media_alignment":"left","text_media_media_type":"image","text_media_image":{"ID":465,"id":465,"title":"20240426-SA900914","filename":"20240426-SA900914.jpg","filesize":"267863","url":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914.jpg","link":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/meet-constantin-andreea-testimonial\/20240426-sa900914\/","alt":"","author":"91","description":"","caption":"","name":"20240426-sa900914","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":461,"date":"2024-05-06 14:36:07","modified":"2024-05-06 14:36:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2048,"height":1365,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"banner":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-1980x1320.jpg","banner-width":1980,"banner-height":1320,"floorplan":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-1200x800.jpg","floorplan-width":1200,"floorplan-height":800,"text_media":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-590x393.jpg","text_media-width":590,"text_media-height":393,"card-sm":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-290x170.jpg","card-sm-width":290,"card-sm-height":170,"featured-plots-thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2024\/05\/20240426-SA900914-675x450.jpg","featured-plots-thumbnail-width":675,"featured-plots-thumbnail-height":450}},"text_media_gallery":false,"text_media_youtube":null,"text_media_tour_url":"","text_media_title":"","text_media_text":"

Speaking about the process of buying a Shared Ownership home with L&Q, Constantin explains: \u201cI can\u2019t speak more highly of L&Q\u2019s team. Customer service is a very tough field to excel in, but everyone at L&Q could not do more to please you. If there\u2019s something that can be done, they will do it. I cannot brag more about everyone\u2019s attentiveness and efficiency.\u201d<\/em> \u201cIn particular, Coralie from L&Q at Bankside Gardens\u2019 sales team was lovely from day one. The poor lady put up with a lot from us, and I would give her an award if I could.
