Shared Ownership at Leon House
We proudly won the “Best Use of a Government Scheme” for our dedication to helping buyers make the most of the Government’s popular Shared Ownership scheme at our Leon House development.
To explain, Shared Ownership is an alternative homebuying route that allows first-time buyers, and those who do not currently own a home, the opportunity to purchase a property at an affordable price.
The scheme works by offering buyers the opportunity to purchase a share of a property, otherwise known as the ‘share value’. At Leon House, this share value can vary between 25% and 75% of the purchase price and represents how much of the property is owned. A discounted rent is then paid on the share of the property not purchased.
