At Plumlife Homes, we are aware that one of the major hurdles when it comes to buying a home is the price. Luckily, if this is the case for you, there is an alternative: purchasing through the Shared Ownership scheme.
Through this government-backed scheme, you can purchase shares in a home without having to buy the property outright. You can then save money to purchase the home outright further down the line.
To quickly check whether you are able to afford a new home in Walkden through Shared Ownership, simply enter a few details into the calculator below. This will allow you to account for the market value of the property, the deposit amount, a mortgage term and rate.
In recent years, the town centre of Walkden has been through major renovations and, for those who love to shop, there is certainly no shortage of potential. This has led to the installation of numerous big-name shops as well as small independents. A number of pharmacies and the Walkden Medical Centre ensure that healthcare is no issue for Walkden residents, and there is a wide variety of cafes, family-friendly restaurants, pubs and bars to choose from.
If you are finding it difficult to collect the amount required for a full deposit to purchase a new home in Walkden, the Shared Ownership scheme might be the ideal solution for you. By paying a smaller upfront deposit, you can purchase shares in a property without buying the home outright. You can then purchase more shares at a later date once you have had time to save more money.
