Legal & General Affordable Homes: Summer Lovin’ with Shared Ownership
Shared Ownership homes available in Preston, Essex and London
The days are longer, the birds are singing and the weather’s somewhat warmer – summer must be fast approaching!
Nothing beats relaxing in the sunshine, sat in your own private outdoor space, sipping an ice cold drink. Sounds good right? Well, you’ve still got time to find your dream home to enjoy the longer evenings in, entertain friends and family outdoors plus soak up the summer rays.
From apartments to houses, Legal & General Affordable Homes offers a wide variety of homes for sale through Shared Ownership – (a government-backed scheme where you purchase a share of a home’s full value and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder). You can increase the owned share of your home over time via a process called staircasing if you wish to do so.
With deposits starting from as little as 5% of the share that you buy, Shared Ownership makes getting onto the proper ladder more accessible for those who may have thought buying a home was out of reach. It’s also often cheaper than private renting in London and provides an additional layer of security and stability.
So, whether you’re wanting to move closer to some of London’s best parks or swap the hustle and bustle of the city for the tranquility of the countryside, Legal & General Affordable Homes has homes across the country offering something for everyone.
As long as you fit the eligibility criteria – including being over the age of 18, not currently a homeowner and meet the financial requirements – you could be holding the keys to a modern, high-quality home in your dream location in time for summer!
