Shared-ownership apartments now available at Upton Park

The area around the former Boleyn Ground, long-vacated by West Ham United, has seen a spate of developments in the years since. One of those, L&Q’s The Forge, offers first-time buyers the chance to get on the housing ladder for less than £100,000. Designed as a series of low-rise blocks clustered around communal gardens and courtyards, all homes have a private balcony or terrace. A 25% share of a two-bedroom flat can be had from £92,500, while a 25% stake in a three-bedroom home is available from £111,250. Nearby, the Boleyn Ground is being transformed into a development of 842 homes plus community facilities including a library, play areas and shops, which buyers at The Forge will be able to use.
