The gently undulating lands of Lincolnshire are famed for their beautiful wolds and fens, alongside vast tracts of fertile farmland. This history-steeped county also boasts stunning beaches and several remnants of the Roman Empire. For those seeking a rural or semi-rural location for a Shared Ownership property, Lincolnshire ticks all the boxes.
Not all of our properties will be available for a new release. But if you had found a development you were interested in and were just a little too late in registering your interest or purchasing, you can find future re-release homes by selecting avaiable or coming soon properties from the filter.
Signs of history are everywhere in Lincolnshire. Sections of Roman walls remain, as well as the UK’s only Roman arch still used by traffic. Other notable structures are Lincoln cathedral and Lincoln castle.
Much of the county’s prosperity is drawn from agriculture and fishing, so many firms are focused on food production, including Findus, Ross and Nisa. Lincolnshire also supports a range of other industries, such as publishing, engineering and manufacturing (the UK’s only printer cartridge maker works out of Boston).
The county also has a good road and rail network, connecting it to nearby Sheffield, Nottingham and Peterborough – making it a great place to live and work.
