Introduction
Shared ownership offers buyers a great affordable option that allows them to get onto the housing ladder, and then grow their investment overtime. This opportunity allows you to buy 35% of the overall property, and then you pay a share of rent of the remainder that is still in the housing associations ownership. Once settled in, you can decide to buy more, as your budget grows, or not... the choice is yours.

Accommodation
The property is located on the 2nd floor, with lift access, and is entered via the communal entrance area via a security entry phone system. Once inside the property, the sense of space is amazing, and the original developer clearly put a lot of thought into the proportionality of the apartment. At one end of the home there is a good size lounge with kitchen built in. From the lounge there is sliding doors that lead to the balcony, an ideal spot to sit back and enjoy the view. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units with work surfaces and space for appliances... and don't forget the kitchen sink! Two bedrooms can be found off the hallway and are both great size rooms, and well presented. Completing the accomodation is the three piece bathroom suite,

Criteria
You can buy a home through shared ownership if your household earns £80,000 a year or less (or £90,000 a year or less in London) and any of the following apply: - you’re a first-time buyer - you used to own a home, but cannot afford to buy one now - you’re an existing shared owner - you own a home and want to move but cannot afford a new home that meets your needs For some homes you may have to already live in, work in, or have a connection to the area where you want to buy the home. If you already own a home, you must have: formally accepted an offer for the sale of your current home (called ‘sold subject to contract’ or ‘STC’) written confirmation of the sale agreed (called a ‘memorandum of sale’) including the price and your intention to sell You must have completed the sale of your home on or before the date you complete buying your shared ownership home.

Places of interest

    At Stephen Lane, Sales and Letting agents, we offer both a traditional approach to moving people, as well as an online approach, across all of Essex. The agency is was founded by both myself, Stephen Lane and my business partner, Simon Hart and is supported by Mortgage Choice.  We have been involved in the property and mortgage industry since the late eighties/early nineties and have honed our skills in many different types of market. We are passionate about ensuring that you are treated in a way that we would expect to be treated ourselves.  Our backgrounds have been from large corporate Estate Agencies and although this has helped us get a great understanding of what sells a home, we have always felt that they needed to go one step further and want to provide a service that keeps the client at the centre of the move at all times. Whether you are looking to sell or buy, let your own home or become a tenant, we understand that it can be a stressful and emotional time and we want to make that move as easy as possible for you.  We also believe that the presentation of your property is paramount when finding a buyer or tenant. We will work tirelessly to ensure that your home stands out on the web, in our brochures and looks its best in the window of our prominent Furtherwick Road office.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
