Say hello to Shared Ownership. If you thought that buying a home where you want to live was out of your reach, then you could be wrong. Shared Ownership through Gecko Homes is a product designed to assist buyers in getting on the property ladder, where ordinarily they might not be able to afford to. Who are Gecko Homes? Gecko Homes are part of Southway Housing Trust and have a dedicated website where you can search all the homes they have available to buy as well as reach out to their dedicated team with any questions you may have. Part rent, part buy, all yours. It’s not always possible to save up for a deposit to buy your own home, but renting means you’ll see no return on all that money you’ve invested over the years. With the unique way that Shared Ownership works, you’ll be able to part rent and part buy a home where you’ll want to live. Deposits can be as low as just 5% of the share you are buying.
The story of Shared Ownership. Imagine a new property as a pie. The full market value is £450,000. And for most, particularly first- time buyers, that’s an unaffordable pie. But what if you just buy the pie by the slide, say one quarter? Watch our Story of Shared Ownership by scanning the QR code above to find out more. How does Shared Ownership work? Gecko’s Shared Ownership homes in Manchester and Cheshire give you the same rights as a regular homeowner, but instead of a full mortgage and high deposit, you part rent, part buy. If you’re trying to understand how Shared Ownership works, our video above explains exactly how it works.
