What is Shared Ownership
What is Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership is an innovative and affordable way to step onto the property ladder. It empowers you to own a share of your dream home, making homeownership more accessible, even in today's competitive housing market. It's an ideal solution for those who aspire to own a home of their own but may find it challenging to purchase a property outright.
Why Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership offers you the chance to buy a portion (typically between 25% to 75%) of a property, while the remaining share is owned by a housing association or developer. This arrangement allows you to pay a mortgage on your share and a reduced rent on the portion owned by the housing association. It's a practical and cost-effective way to get your foot on the property ladder.
Why Shared Ownership at Gwel Basset?
Perran Housing understands the importance of home, and is dedicated to making homeownership dreams a reality. We are thrilled to offer Shared Ownership at Gwel Basset, which includes 12 Shared Ownership properties, providing you with a unique opportunity to own a home in a beautiful and thriving community.
• Flexible Ownership: With Shared Ownership at Gwel Basset, you can choose the percentage of the property you wish to own, allowing you to match your investment with your budget and aspirations.
• Affordability: Shared Ownership properties often require a smaller deposit compared to traditional homeownership, making it an accessible choice for many. Plus, your monthly payments will be a combination of mortgage and rent, making them more manageable.
• Opportunity to Grow: Over time, as your financial situation improves, you have the option to buy additional shares of your home, eventually reaching full ownership. This means you can build equity and take full control of your future.
