The homes that are advertised are funded through City Hall’s<\/a> affordable housing programmes.<\/p>\n

The portal is frequently updated and new properties are continually added to the site.<\/p>\n

The platform is still in its first stage and works to help those who cannot afford to buy<\/a> a home in the current market space.<\/p>\n

Commenting on his new enterprise, Sadiq Khan said that City Hall are doing all that they can to ensure “good-quality” and “affordable” homes for those wanting to live in a city known for high living costs.<\/p>\n

He added that the portal is a great place for anyone looking to find an affordable home and that the platform accumulates the best and most affordable homes all in one easy to navigate place.<\/p>\n

Those who have already used the portal have highly commended the portal’s accessibility.<\/p>\n

They said that the search functionality was easy to use, arranging property viewings were simple and efficient and\u00a0details for the Housing Association were quick and easy to find.<\/p>\n

In addition, those that made contact with the Housing Association were provided with even more information about mortgage providers and solicitors.<\/p>\n

The Mayor has urged those affected by expensive living costs to register their interest at\u00a0london.gov.uk\/homes<\/a>\u00a0to create an account for free.<\/p>\n
