AFFORDABLE HOMES
WHY BUY NEW? DON’T ASK US, ASK OUR RESIDENTS “It’s more economical” – according to first time buyers Mike and Amanda, who are loving life on the property ladder in their new build home at Rogerson Gardens
… WHERE?
We realise that one size doesn’t fit all. From our spacious apartments in some of England’s bustling cities to generous family homes nestled in the peaceful countryside, L&G has a range of properties to suit different lifestyles and needs. Here are some to give you an idea of what’s on offer:
ROGERSON GARDENS, PRESTON
and Selborne, there are plenty of activities on your doorstep to keep you busy – from markets and fairs to a steam railway line and historic gardens. Prices start at £50,625 for a minimum 25% share.
“With the house being new, we’re not paying as much on gas and electric. And we’ve got no maintenance bills because the house is lovely!” The benefits of buying a new home range far and wide – from modern appliances and lower maintenance to open- plan living and better energy efficiency, so it’s no surprise that new build homes are growing in popularity. But with the high cost of living making it challenging to save for a deposit, and recent rises in Stamp Duty rates, you may feel as though the “new build premium” is just out of reach. In that case, Shared Ownership could be the answer you’ve been looking for. SHARED OWNERSHIP… WHAT? Shared Ownership is an alternative route to owning your home where you typically buy a share of between 25% and 75% of the home’s full value and pay rent on the remainder. Through a process called staircasing, you can purchase further shares until you own 100% of the property should you choose to.
