For Karen Belcher, a 62-year-old Senior Customer Liaison Advisor working in the care sector, Shared Ownership offered a much-needed route back to independence following a separation from her partner.<\/p>\n

Having previously owned a share in a three-bedroom Shared Ownership house in Reading, Karen was already familiar with the scheme. When the time came to downsize, she was ready to explore her options.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d looked at a few \u2018over 60s\u2019 developments, but I\u2019m just not ready for that kind of living. I\u2019m not at the stage where I want to share a laundry room!\u201d she laughs. \u201cI\u2019d also been told by a couple of banks that I couldn\u2019t get a mortgage at my age, so I felt a bit deflated thinking that renting was my only option. Then I found out I was eligible for Shared Ownership, and that changed everything.\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":774,"id":774,"title":"20250908-7R408134","filename":"20250908-7R408134.jpg","filesize":"298952","url":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134.jpg","link":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/meet-karen-testimonial\/20250908-7r408134\/","alt":"","author":"77","description":"","caption":"","name":"20250908-7r408134","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":595,"date":"2025-10-03 11:29:26","modified":"2025-10-03 11:29:26","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\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"banner":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-1980x1320.jpg","banner-width":1980,"banner-height":1320,"floorplan":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-1200x800.jpg","floorplan-width":1200,"floorplan-height":800,"text_media":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-590x393.jpg","text_media-width":590,"text_media-height":393,"card-sm":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-290x170.jpg","card-sm-width":290,"card-sm-height":170,"featured-plots-thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408134-675x450.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":"

Already aware of the homes available at L&Q at Bankside Gardens after coming across it on social media, Karen decided to visit: \u201cI went for a walk around the development and thought it looked lovely. I booked a sales appointment and when I first viewed the apartments it just felt right. I could really see my life here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMichelle from the L&Q Sales Team was amazing. I had a couple of viewings because I wanted to get a feel for the development at different times of day, and she was always on hand to answer my questions. Nothing was too much trouble,\u201d<\/em> Karen explains.<\/p>\n

Ready to make her move, Karen bought a 25% share of a two-bedroom Shared Ownership apartment at L&Q at Bankside Gardens. \u201cI put down a lump sum using money from the sale of my previous Shared Ownership home. The buying process was generally smooth, and everything moved along at a steady pace<\/em>.\u201d<\/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":775,"id":775,"title":"20250908-7R408244","filename":"20250908-7R408244.jpg","filesize":"382694","url":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244.jpg","link":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/meet-karen-testimonial\/20250908-7r408244\/","alt":"","author":"77","description":"","caption":"","name":"20250908-7r408244","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":595,"date":"2025-10-03 11:29:53","modified":"2025-10-03 11:29:53","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\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"banner":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-1980x1320.jpg","banner-width":1980,"banner-height":1320,"floorplan":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-1200x800.jpg","floorplan-width":1200,"floorplan-height":800,"text_media":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-590x393.jpg","text_media-width":590,"text_media-height":393,"card-sm":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-290x170.jpg","card-sm-width":290,"card-sm-height":170,"featured-plots-thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/banksidegardens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/212\/2025\/10\/20250908-7R408244-675x450.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":"

Karen reflects on how her new home fits the bill: \u201cA decent work-from-home setup was non-negotiable for me. My apartment is lovely and spacious, so I can have a dedicated work-from-home area. \u00a0I travel to London for work occasionally and my daughter lives in London too, so having Reading Green Park station a stone\u2019s throw away was a real plus. I can hop on a train to Reading then be in Paddington in no time. The location works perfectly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a great bonus to have the amenities there if I need them. I\u2019m hoping to use the cinema room with my kids sometime soon. It\u2019s lovely knowing it\u2019s all right on my doorstep.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel really safe here, and I love the balcony \u2013 when the sun\u2019s out it honestly feels like I\u2019m on holiday! With the lakes surrounding the neighbourhood, it feels very peaceful. It\u2019s a great balance between being connected to town as well as nature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good investment for me.
