The platform Homes for Londoners already lists more than 1,400 shared ownership and 230 Help to Buy properties.

The portal is currently in its first phase and aims to help Londoners who can’t afford to buy a home on the open market, with all homes funded through City Hall affordable housing programmes being advertised on the website and new properties continually added.

“Here at City Hall, we’re doing everything we can to make sure all Londoners are able to buy a good-quality, affordable place to live in the city to call home,” said the mayor of London.

“The Homes for Londoners website is a fantastic one-stop shop, bringing together affordable homes into one place for people who would struggle to buy in the open market. 

“More and more homes will be added to the portal, so I urge Londoners to get online, set up a free account and start browsing.”

Tomas Rakauskas, who has reserved a home in Kidbrooke Village in Greenwich through the portal, said: “The Homes for Londoners property portal is simple to use and the search functionality is great.

“The housing associations details were easy to find, so arranging a property viewing was straightforward. 

“The housing association also recommended mortgage providers and solicitors, which helped us a lot in the process. 

“I’d highly recommend using the Homes for Londoners portal.”
