When Dania decided to she wanted to get onto the property ladder, she weighed up her options and decided that Shared Ownership was the best route for her to take.
She said “when I was looking for a property, I looked at all of my options. I had a vague idea about what Shared Ownership was, but when I went to view the property I found out a lot more. At the end of the day, I decided that Shared Ownership was the best option for me.”
After some searching, she opted for a new Plumlife home in Wythenshawe, Manchester and bought an initial 50% share in January 2021.
Dania bought her property with the intention of one day owning her property outright through a process called ‘staircasing’. It didn’t take long for Dania to turn that dream into a reality, as in July 2023 she bought the remaining 50% share.
Dania described her experience of buying a shared ownership home and staircasing with Plumlife as “very straightforward”. She said “I would definitely recommend Plumlife and the Shared Ownership scheme as it allowed me to buy and own my home.”
“And when it came to staircasing, it was very easy and efficient. All I had to do was get in touch with the Plumlife team and all the next steps were provided and I took it from there.”
“I had all the support from Plumlife I needed and it’s very easy for me to recommend shared ownership and staircasing to anyone else.”
