Liz was looking for a new home after going through a change in her life, but she didn’t know much about shared ownership.
It’s a scheme that lets you part-buy, part-rent a home to cut the cost of getting on the property ladder. You buy a share in a home and pay rent on the rest, but the home is 100% yours to enjoy.
At first, Liz kept seeing homes in her budget that needed a bit of work and had on-road parking, which didn’t appeal to her. Luckily, she saw an advert for shared ownership homes on our Lily Street Farm development in Swanwick.
“As soon as I saw my new home I wanted it,” Liz said. “I bought a two-bed, end-terrace shared ownership home, with a drive and a big garden, which is perfect.”
“At first, I wasn’t sure if I’d get it, as I’ve bought before, but that didn’t matter.”
“I live in a great neighbourhood and Futures have been good, the Maintenance team are fantastic, so I’ve got no maintenance to worry about. It’s all worked out well!”
Now Liz recommends shared ownership to anyone who’s on the hunt for a new home.
