As more people are working from home, online estate agents have seen a surge in virtual viewings[1]. With this way of viewing properties swiftly becoming the new normal, Peabody is pleased to be launching its new development, Greenway at Beckton Parkside, with virtual tours on the 18th April. This contemporary collection of homes is available to purchase via Shared Ownership, allowing homeowners the opportunity to secure a property of their own with a deposit of just £7,050, based on purchasing a 30% share of the full market value of £235,000.

With more affordable prices at Greenway than surrounding areas such as Stratford, this is a great opportunity for first time buyers to secure a home of their own. Andrew Peglau, Assistant Director of Marketing at Peabody comments: “We understand that those deliberating moving home are keen to see what is on the market, and hope that the offering of virtual tours will provide a good alternative to in person viewing, whilst in turn keeping our customers and staff safe. Available to purchase with Shared Ownership, the homes at Greenway will provide the ideal residence for those wishing to live within easy reach of Central London, without the price tag.”

Apartments have been finished to a high standard and are available in studio, one, two- and three-bedroom layouts, providing a haven to busy city workers, families and locals. Residents will be pleased with the onsite amenities including allocated parking*, tranquil podium gardens and secure cycle storage. The schemes newly launched virtual tours, provide interested buyers with the chance to walk through Peabody's stylish two-bedroom and three-bedroom duplex show apartments.

A further second bedroom provides the perfect space for guests, sharers, or an office for those working from home regularly.
