Christmas is fast approaching, and for those eager to make a move, there’s still time to step into your dream home before the festivities commence.
Make This Christmas Unforgettable
Whether you’re envisioning higher ceilings for your dream Christmas tree or a spacious kitchen to host Boxing Day lunch, it’s not too late to create lasting memories this holiday season.
Legal & General Affordable Homes offers a range of shared ownership homes across the country. From studio apartments in vibrant city settings to family houses in the heart of the countryside, there’s a perfect home for everyone.
Shared ownership is a Government backed scheme allowing you to buy an initial share of 25% to 75% of the home’s value. Pay a subsidised rent on the remainder, and if you choose, purchase additional shares until you own the property outright. Legal & General Affordable Homes makes the selling process straightforward.
A key advantage of shared ownership is that you only pay a deposit for the share that you purchase – and with shares of homes available for under £100,000, your deposit can be lower than £5,000. This means you can typically get on the property ladder more easily
and at a lower price point. And with no property chains to slow you down, shared ownership homes offer you the perfect opportunity to move in before Christmas.
