London Home Show Sponsors: Meet Square Roots
Making London Homeownership a Reality
It’s no secret, first time buyers are struggling to find affordable housing on the open market. Deposit prices are at an all-time high, especially for a property in London and with the added financial pressure of mortgage payments it could be tempting to give up on the dream of homeownership. Don’t.
At Square Roots, we are committed to opening the door to homeownership across London with our current and future developments. Through our Shared Ownership scheme, you could place an affordable deposit on your next home and own a modern new build in the capital.
Affordability Unlocked with Shared Ownership
How Does Shared Ownership Work?
With a Shared Ownership property, rather than buying the home outright, you buy a share and pay a significantly smaller mortgage and deposit. You would then pay subsidised rent on the remaining share you haven’t bought.
Aside from being much more affordable, the magic of Shared Ownership is that you live in the home as your own. Eventually, you can buy more shares until you own your home outright. This process is called staircasing.
When you increase your share, rent on the property will be re-calculated and reduced proportionately. Typically, you purchase a 25%-75% of your home value and your deposit will be 5%-10% of the share.
The Benefits of Shared Ownership with Square Roots
- Lower deposit requirements, making it easier to get started.
- Smaller mortgage payments compared to buying on the open market.
- Flexibility to increase your share over time through staircasing.
- The security and stability of owning your own home.
- Live in a thriving, up-and-coming area.
