This discount scheme may sound too good to be true but it’s a legitimate way for councils to help local people onto the housing ladder - by working with developers / housing associations to offer properties at below market value prices.
This immaculate two bedroom ground floor flat is being offered to people who meet the qualifying criteria - and you only have to pay for 54.893% of the full market price.
In this way it’s designed to make home ownership more affordable - because you only need to be able to afford a mortgage based on the 54.893% amount.
So it’s yours, you’d own it with a mortgage as normal and you can make changes like any other homeowner without asking anyone’s permission. There's no rent to pay on the other half, but there are some service charges to cover maintenance costs etc.
It’s in a modern development built around 17 years ago, in a great location that’s really handy for the town centre shops.
The flat has two double bedrooms, a stylish part-tiled bathroom and a spacious lounge with enough room for a sofa as well as space to sit and eat at the table.
There are French doors from the lounge to the modern fitted kitchen which means you can open them up so you don’t miss any conversation but close them to keep any cooking smells contained.
The flat comes with an allocated parking space, although it’s less than 10 minutes walk to the Main Street shops so you may not need a car.
You need to meet certain criteria to qualify for the Discounted Sale and we have a Key Information Document available to any prospective buyers. The scheme is managed by Home Group.
If you’re moving from rented accommodation you could find the purchase process relatively quick and straightforward as the flat has no onward chain.
