SHARED OWNERSHIP PURCHASE – 45% – 75% SHARE

Shared Ownership allows purchasers to buy a share of a property, usually between 45% and 75%, instead of buying it outright. You pay an affordable rent on the unpurchased shares. The rent you pay is subsidised to make these homes as affordable as possible. This is a great way for you to get on the property ladder if you can’t afford to buy a similar home outright. It can also take away the pressure of having to save for a high deposit, or having to make large mortgage repayments.

This means you get the home you want, at an affordable price, and through a monthly repayment that’s achievable. You would need to discuss your finances with a qualified mortgage advisor to determine how much deposit you would be required to put down. All mortgages are offered on a case by case basis, and will depend on your financial situation. If you do have to pay a deposit, this will be calculated as a percentage of the share you are buying only, not the full market value.

The New Homes Agent is delighted to present this stunning range of shared ownership properties, brought to market by Longhurst Group and constructed by the well renowned developer, Lindum Homes.
