A collection of five new buildings are dotted across the leafy Sylvan Hill community in Upper Norwood, just a short stroll from the shops and cafés of Crystal Palace. The scheme includes 57 apartments, 19 of which are available through shared ownership, the others with Help to Buy. The homes are perfect for first time buyers and anyone who longs for a green outlook and a sense of space, with an easy commute into Central London. 03
The buildings Green Friendly Clad in a high quality brick, with a soft, organic colour palette, the five blocks have been designed to sit quietly among the existing homes and natural surroundings. Each new building is of modest proportions, with fewer than 20 or so homes per block, so there s an intimate and friendly feel, and the sloped setting offers great views. The meandering paths, trees and greenery make this community feel really peaceful and close to nature. Artist s impression of the block on Auckland Rise. 04 05
The homes Natural Light The apartments are generously proportioned, offering open and light-flooded spaces. We ve used natural materials such as timber parquet flooring in living areas, and timber accessories in kitchens and bathrooms. 06 07

Ways to buy We want to give as many people from Croydon as possible the opportunity to buy from us. That s why we offer a range of different ways to live in our homes. You can buy from us outright, or with Help to Buy, and some of the homes in this scheme are available through shared ownership. Our experienced sales team can take you through the options that could work for you. Help to Buy First time buyers and home movers are both eligible for a Help to Buy Equity Loan, where the government will lend you up to 40% of the cost of your new build home. You put in the minimum 5% cash deposit upfront. Shared ownership Shared ownership is a government backed scheme to help people to get onto the property ladder. You purchase a share in the property, typically ranging between 25% to 75% of the market value, and pay a subsidised rent on the share that you do not own. 18 19
