CASE STUDY

ONE of those moving into a famous old building converted into homes is rising YouTube star Noel Carroll. He was able to afford his flat at The Bureau – formerly the British Newspaper Library – through shared ownership.

The fitness coach, 33, bought a 50 per cent share of a one-bedroom flat at the site in Colindale, NorthWest London, for £166,000.

Noel chose The Bureau as it allows him to navigate easily between his jobs as a fitness coach in St Albans and a YouTuber who films content in London.

‘It is great to be on the property ladder and I look forward to increasing my share when the time is right,’ he says.
