It may not feel like it quite yet, but the days are getting longer and brighter and soon we’ll be gearing up for spring – the season when we shake off the winter slumber to get our teeth into some fresh opportunities
It’s the time when we can happily let go of those idealistic, but frankly unkeepable, new year resolutions to start focusing on things that really make a difference. If moving into your own, new home is on the list, we’re here to tell you that it’s closer than you think with Shared Ownership – a Government-backed scheme that provides an alternative route to owning your home.
Shared Ownership means…
You buy a share of your home and pay rent on the rest. This way, you can get started with a smaller deposit and buy more shares later when the time is right. With beautifully designed Shared Ownership homes available and deposits starting from just 5%, you can begin your next chapter in a dream home.
Shared Ownership does not mean…
Sharing your home with anyone you don’t know or don’t want to share with – the home is for you to enjoy. And you don’t have to curb your enthusiasm when it comes to decorating your home!
It also doesn’t mean you can’t sell your property one day. Through a straightforward process, you can either sell your share or full home, depending on how much you own.
L&G has Shared Ownership homes across the country ready to move in to as soon as you’re ready. Take a look at the selection here – and see what could be the perfect match.
