New Build Home Buy

New Build Home Buy, formerly known as shared ownership, is a part rent, part buy scheme. IDS has developed a small but growing portfolio of shared ownership flats and houses since 2002.

At Wilmer Place, Hackney we built five 3-bedroom shared ownership houses in partnership with Notting Hill Housing Trust who developed and marketed the scheme on our behalf. Today most of the original Wilmer Place owners have either sold or “staircased” to full ownership.

Since that initial project, Zone Agents have been appointed by the Housing Corporation to market all shared ownership schemes within a specified area. The Zone Agent for all our housing schemes is Housing Options (weblink).

Other IDS shared ownership schemes include Koban Court in Hendon where the purchasers are all key workers such as teachers, NHS workers and police officers. Two small houses are reaching completion in Genas Close, Barkingside.

In the pipeline are a few flats at Queen Mary Gate and South Woodford.
