About the site
The charming town of Consett, County Durham, sits near the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounded by the stunning scenic landscapes of the Derwent Valley. Once a powerhouse of the steel industry, it now blends industrial heritage with scenic beauty, a strong sense of local pride, and active community groups. A diverse range of educational institutions cater to children from early years right through to further education, with a mix of community schools, Church of England and Roman Catholic schools, academies, and colleges. Come and explore the town’s steelmaking legacy through interactive exhibits at the Consett Heritage Centre or experience a bygone age at Beamish Museum open-air museum. Visit Derwent Reservoir for walking, fishing, sailing, and birdwatching. Consett Park brings gardens, sports facilities, and events to the middle of the town, or perhaps it's off up to the rugged uplands for a hike.

Shared Ownership Disclaimer
Shared Ownership is a great way to get onto the property ladder when you can’t afford to buy a home on the open market. Depending on what you can afford, this scheme allows you to buy a share of a new home, and pay a reduced rent on the remaining share. You can purchase a share of a property, typically between 25% and 75%, making it more achievable to get on the property ladder. To do this you'll only need to secure a mortgage for your share of the property, reducing the upfront costs and monthly payments. Once you’ve bought your Shared Ownership home you can choose to increase you share of the property and potentially own it outright.
You can add locations as 'My Places' and save them to your account. These are locations you wish to commute to and from, and you can specify the maximum time of the commute and by which transport method.
