If you’re considering buying a new house in Shaw, we understand that the price can be a major hurdle to achieving this goal. One way to get around this is to consider buying a shared ownership home. With shared ownership you can buy a share in a new home (normally between 25% – 75%), which means you’ll need a smaller deposit. You’ll pay rent on the share that you don’t own. You will then have the option of buying your home in full further down the line, when you have had time to save more money or if your circumstances change.
A quick way to check whether you are able to afford the monthly cost of a new home in Shaw is by inputting a few details into our simple affordability calculator. Simply adjust the share percentage and the full market value of the property, and add the deposit amount, mortgage term and rate.
