AFFORDABLE HOMES

COULD YOU BE LIVING THE PLUMLIFE THIS YEAR? A new year presents a chance for change and if you are looking to get your foot on the property ladder then look no further than Plumlife

is really good quality – it’s never cold and you can’t hear anything from the neighbours. The process was smooth enough and I would highly recommend Plumlife. I always thought that shared ownership properties were only for first time buyers. So when I realised I was eligible in my situation, it was like all my prayers had been answered. “The alternative would have been to buy a very run-down property that I wouldn’t have been able to afford to improve or move completely out of the area – which I didn’t want to do because of my boys.” For many of our customers, their new home is their perfect forever home. But if you’re a shared owner ready for your next move we have you covered, in the shape of our shared ownership resales specialist Plumlife Move. Plumlife Move is an expert in reselling shared ownership properties on behalf of customers, ensuring homes are sold quickly and compliantly. You don’t even have to be a Plumlife customer, Plumlife Move can sell any shared ownership home. In challenging market conditions, the team continues to find a buyer for homes in an impressive average of four weeks. So if 2024 is your time to make a move, check out Plumlife.co.uk and you too could soon be living the Plumlife!

Stepping into a new home can be one of the best feelings in the world and with shared ownership, that feeling could be just around the corner! There’s no doubt that the housing market is tough at the moment, anyone who follows the news can understand that getting your foot on the property ladder is difficult, but our homes are still proving very popular and within reach for our customers. Take for example our Mulino Walk development in Ancoats, Manchester, and Hollins Grange in Hollingworth, Hyde. Launch events were held for both developments in November 2023, these were extremely successful and all 35 plots were reserved off-plan! So why is the shared ownership scheme proving so popular in a challenging housing market? It offers a solution to those who can’t afford to buy a home on the open market, which is a very

common position to be in for people from all walks of life. Shared ownership is a way to buy a share in a home now, with the option to buy more of it in the future when you’re in a position to do so.You pay rent on the share of the home that you don’t own and you need a much smaller deposit than with a traditional purchase.

Interested? Plumlife has a range of homes across the North West, all available to purchase with shared ownership. Plus, Plumlife has developments launching throughout 2024. Just head over to the Plumlife Homes website to register your interest, then you’ll be the first to hear as soon as we have any further information available. One of our happy customers, Lucy Donahue, needed to move home following a relationship break-up but had to stay in the area where her children went to school. She said, “My children go to school in the East Didsbury area, so I needed to stay local, but even though I had a lot of equity from my previous property it was proving virtually impossible to purchase anything in the area. I had been looking for nearly five years before I found The Poplars development – that made it possible.” She added, “I love the location and the style of the property. I particularly like the kitchen/diner area, it feels so much more spacious than I expected. Also, the build
