A new affordable housing development neighbouring Britain's second happiest place to live has launched in West London, offering prospective buyers a rare opportunity to purchase one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments through Shared Ownership.

Delivered by SNG (Sovereign Network Group), one of England's leading housing associations, Post House is located directly across the River Thames from Richmond, recently voted the UK's second happiest place in to live, a ranking based not only on housing but also on community spirit, quality of life and proximity to the things people value most. Positioned in the southern tip of Hounslow, Post House benefits from the best of both worlds: the vibrancy of city living combined with the charm and character of village-style neighbourhoods. This up-and-coming location presents an exciting and accessible route onto the property ladder for a wide range of buyers, from first-time purchasers to growing families.

SNG's Shared Ownership apartments at Post House allow buyers to purchase a share of their home with a deposit from as little as 25% of the open-market value, paying a mortgage only on the share they own. Rent is paid on the remaining shares with the option to increase ownership over time through a process known as staircasing. This flexible model provides a pathway to full home ownership in one of London's most desirable riverside locations.

Kalumba Musambachime, Head of Sales at SNG (London & East) comments: “We are thrilled to see this part of London receiving the recognition it deserves. Post House occupies a great setting close to the River Thames, and bordering Syon Park, one London's impressive green spaces. Our Shared Ownership apartments are designed to give buyers on a more modest budget a genuine opportunity to get on the property ladder, and homes in this location, just across the river from Kew, are rarely attainable without larger deposits.”

Set within the backdrop of Brentford's vibrant riverside regeneration, Post House is surrounded by thriving communities and well-established neighbourhoods including Richmond, Chiswick and Twickenham. Green spaces are plentiful, with Brent Lea Recreation Ground and Hawthorn Hatch Playground within walking distance. Richmond Park, one of London's eight royal parks, is reachable in under 20 minutes by bike, while nearby Syon Park offers historic gardens, parkland and meadows. The world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew sit just across the river.

Designed with modern living and comfort in mind, Post House homes feature elegantly crafted interiors set within a thoughtfully landscaped environment. Every apartment benefits from a private balcony or terrace, providing valuable outdoor space with views over greenery. High-quality finishes run throughout, including platinum-grey kitchens with integrated appliances, stylish dark-grey tiled bathrooms, and neutral wool-mix carpets and flooring for immediate comfort. Each home also includes integrated kitchen appliances and an Electrolux washer/dryer housed neatly within a dedicated storage cupboard.

With a range of layouts and neutral colour palettes, Post House offers buyers the opportunity to personalise their home and create a space that truly reflects their lifestyle, all within one of west London's most attractive and well-connected neighbourhoods.

Shared Ownership prices at Post House start from £98,750 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment with a full market value of £395,000. For more information visit, https://sales.sng.org.uk/developments/post-house.
