Pocket Living

Pocket exists to help people stay in London by creating a new model for homeownership. They build affordable one-bedroom homes in well-connected locations across the city and sell them at a 20% discount to eligible local first-time buyers. This offers a route onto the property ladder that is not shared ownership or social housing, allowing buyers to own their home outright.

The homes are designed for efficient city living, featuring open-plan kitchen/living areas, double bedrooms, and wet rooms. High ceilings and large windows maximise light, complemented by smart storage solutions. Residents also benefit from shared spaces such as rooftop gardens, lounges, and co-working spots, fostering a ready-made community of middle-income earners.

Pocket guides buyers through the entire process, from checking eligibility and completing affordability assessments to booking viewings and submitting expressions of interest. The company emphasizes 100% ownership from day one, with lower energy bills due to efficient, modern design. If residents decide to move on, they can sell their home to another eligible buyer, with Pocket's team available to support the resale process.
