By early 2024, Marta was ready to make her move after a promotion at work. After viewing several flats, she bought a 25% of a one-bedroom apartment at L&Q at Kidbrooke Village, complete with sunset views: \u201cI took my<\/em> brother and family to see it. They loved it just as much which gave me the confidence to go ahead,\u201d<\/em> she explained. She moved into her new home in May, just a few months after her property search began.<\/p>\n

Monika\u2019s journey followed a few months later. “When the time came for me to begin my property journey, I knew that I wanted to live at Kidbrooke Village too. Jo from the L&Q sales team, very helpful, remembered my interest in the flat just opposite Marta\u2019s \u2013 so we started the process of buying the property and by November, I was moved in as well. It\u2019s the perfect setup.

For both women, Shared Ownership was the key to unlocking homeownership. \u201cOn the open market, there\u2019s no way we could\u2019ve afforded to buy in London, especially with how high rents are. I could have never saved enough for a deposit,\u201d <\/em>Monika explains. \u201cEven renting was becoming unsustainable \u2013 Shared Ownership offered us a more affordable alternative while also letting us invest in a home of our own.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Monika was initially introduced to the scheme by a friend who had purchased through Shared Ownership in 2018. \u201cPeople can be sceptical about it, but it\u2019s such a brilliant option. The rent is far lower than what I was paying privately and being able to own a share, even 25%, gives you a sense of security and pride.\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":715,"id":715,"title":"20250316-SA903093-Edit","filename":"20250316-SA903093-Edit.jpg","filesize":"273103","url":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit.jpg","link":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/meet-marta-monika-testimonial\/20250316-sa903093-edit\/","alt":"","author":"91","description":"","caption":"","name":"20250316-sa903093-edit","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":707,"date":"2025-06-03 11:45:41","modified":"2025-06-03 11:45:41","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2048,"height":1365,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"banner":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-1980x1320.jpg","banner-width":1980,"banner-height":1320,"floorplan":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-1200x800.jpg","floorplan-width":1200,"floorplan-height":800,"text_media":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-590x393.jpg","text_media-width":590,"text_media-height":393,"card-sm":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-290x170.jpg","card-sm-width":290,"card-sm-height":170,"featured-plots-thumbnail":"https:\/\/lqhomes.com\/kidbrookevillage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2025\/06\/20250316-SA903093-Edit-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":"

Both women were able to put away a portion of their salaries each month. \u201cIt\u2019s been worth every penny,\u201d<\/em> Monika says.<\/p>\n
