Building communities: Why Shared Ownership is more than just a buying scheme
If you’re looking to buy a home in 2025, and finding taking the first step challenging, why not consider Shared Ownership? An increasingly popular option for buyers across the country, it could help you get moving this year. Abri Homes is creating Shared Ownership homes across the south, helping aspiring homeowners onto the housing ladder.
First time buyers on the open market are now putting down an average deposit of £61,090, with Shared Ownership offering a more affordable route to becoming a homeowner, starting from just a 5% deposit based on the share you purchase.
Shared Ownership is designed to help aspiring homeowners by enabling them to buy between a 10% and 75% share of a home, rather than buying outright. The purchaser will then pay a low-cost rent to us, with their total monthly payments often amounting to less than market rent in the area.
As a long-term route to homeownership, residents are able ‘staircase’ their way to full ownership. This process is when buyers purchase larger shares on their home at their own pace.
And, with 52% of buyers naming access to amenities as extremely important when looking to buy a home, building a strong community is just as important as the bricks and mortar. And this is why our Horlicks Quarter development in Slough features 98 Shared Ownership apartments, with several fantastic public spaces on site, including a gym, cinema room, coworking space and café.
For those looking for a more relaxed pace of life, our Shared Ownership homes at Sunningdale Park in Ascot offer a quieter village location, where the apartments have been built against the backdrop of 47 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. With access to quality local parks and public spaces topping the wish list for over half of buyers in 2025, we’re proud to be offering a pet friendly, picturesque setting with a beautiful landscape on the doorstep. Meanwhile, Sunningdale high street is home to lots of vibrant independent shops, where you’ll be able to support local businesses and connect with your new tight-knit and friendly neighbourhood.
As the typical modern Shared Ownership buyer evolves, Abri Homes has continued to offer a variety of amenities that can appeal to a diverse range of aspiring homeowners. Many of our developments offer the best of both worlds, being immersed in green space, while also having strong transport links to larger towns and cities. Residents at Tillingbourne Gardens in Gomshall, can reach Guildford in 20 minutes, also providing an easy commute into London.
We’re creating more than just homes, but communities that you can feel an integral part of, whether you’re buying your first home, or looking for a family home. At Abri Homes’ Walstead Park development in Lindfield, West Sussex, there are three play areas being built and several great schools close by, allowing residents to be part of a growing community perfect for family living.
Shared Ownership is much more than an accessible path to homeownership. It’s a flexible and long-term solution that can work for all sorts of buyers. We can provide versatile communities that work for you, while offering thoughtfully designed homes that are tailored to the evolving demands of the housing market.
