New homes
Hammersmith & Fulham Council are delivering 31 new homes on the site, of which 10 will be let at social rent, 6 will be shared ownership and 15 will be available to buy as leasehold homes. The homes are due to be completed around Spring 2026.
The 10 social rent homes will be prioritised for local people in housing need. Anyone interested in these homes should join the council's housing register. More information on the housing register here.
The 6 shared ownership homes will be prioritised for people who live or work in the borough. We do not yet have information about what the prices will be. You can find out more information about shared ownership in the borough through the council's Home Buy team.
The 15 homes available to buy will be marketed closer to the end of the project.
