Find a home in West Yorkshire on Share to Buy
Welcome to West Yorkshire
West Yorkshire is one of the most delicious slices of God’s own county, bringing together and excelling in everything that makes this sublime part of the UK as great as it is. When you think of Yorkshire in general, one of the first things that comes to mind is those gorgeous wide-open spaces – the great green fields of Roundhay Park, or the melting pot of culture and nature that is the Yorkshire sculpture park, for instance.
That fresh air can also be enjoyed while experiencing the great historical sites that colour the identity of its boroughs, across the likes of Pontefract Castle, Kirklees Light Railway and Castle Hill. You don’t need to be a historical expert to appreciate the beauty and character that can be found all around you.
If you are a bit of a history buff though, then everything from the Bronte Parsonage Museum to the National Mining Museum and the Hyde Park Picture House will not only expand your horizons, but help you appreciate what a beautiful place you’ve called home.
As proud as West Yorkshire is of its past, it’s just as excited about the future. You’ll find cultural dynamite in the likes of The Art House in Wakefield, catch the north’s finest large-scale productions at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford and enjoy the biggest bands at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. Whatever you’re into, whatever you enjoy, there’s plenty to keep you entertained in West Yorkshire.

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.

“A year after I moved in, I staircased to 75% and then purchased the final share, and now I own my home 100% outright. I really do recommend Shared Ownership as a fantastic way to get into the housing market.”
Sandra – Shared Ownership buyer in Croydon
“The landlord at our old place kept threatening to sell up and leave us in the lurch, which produced a lot of anxiety. Now we’ve got a stake in something, we aren’t at the mercy of someone else.”
Jenny & David – Shared Ownership buyers in Gillingham
“If you are considering Shared Ownership, I would 100% recommend using Share to Buy to learn more about the scheme and assess your options. It’s given me a freedom and flexibility I wouldn’t have had if I bought on the open market.”
Emily – Shared Ownership buyer in Forest of Dean
“We were able to use the extra £13,000 from our Shared Ownership sale to purchase a three bedroom house on the open market. We now own outright; a lovely property with a garage and a garden that backs onto a massive field. We definitely couldn’t have done it without Shared Ownership.”
Maureen – Shared Ownership buyer in Colchester
“We were delighted when our application was successful, we moved in a few months later and settled in really quickly. It definitely feels different now we are homeowners.”
Terry & Ashley – Shared Ownership buyers in Newham
“After six months my search had been less than fruitful and I’d almost given up hope of ever owning in central London. A friend then told me about Shared Ownership and a quick online search into the scheme led me to Share to Buy.”
