Shared ownership offers prospective buyers the opportunity to buy a share of a property’s value, between 25% and 75%, while paying a subsidised rent on the remaining share. The lower deposit level required with the shared ownership scheme means buyers need only put down a deposit on the share they purchase and not the full market value of the property. Shared ownership also means you can become a homeowner with a lower level of savings than if you were to buy the same home outright. Shared owners can choose to buy additional shares of their property as and when they can afford to, right up to 100%.
Viewings are currently available by appointment only. Prices at Windsor Apartments start at £150,000 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment priced at £600,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing please visit www.windsorapartments-sw11.co.uk or call 0300 100 0309.
