Our Shared Ownership scheme ensures our buyers have affordable and flexible options for purchasing any of our over 55s properties. With our new development sites, you purchase a share, 75% or 50% of the property – then pay the remaining cost in rent. We also offer personalised affordability guidance because we understand that moving to a retirement living development is a significant decision, and affordability plays a crucial role. That’s why our dedicated Be Wise team is here to provide you with personalised guidance. They can help you explore various options that suit your needs and budget.
