A new home and a fresh start with Shared Ownership at Calthorpe Gardens

We’re always excited to hand our purchasers the keys to their new home and Matt is no exception. He recently purchased a new home at our popular Calthorpe Gardens development in Banbury and couldn’t be happier.

Eager to have his own space and buy a home of his own, he diligently saved as much as he could every month until he had enough to proceed. He opted to buy with Shared Ownership and tells us: “It was the only way to get back on the property ladder on my own”.

Shared Ownership is a more affordable way to buy a new home, as the deposit required is based on the share you buy, not the full purchase price. And as the popularity of the scheme has grown, there are now more mortgage lenders to choose from.

Matt told us why Calthorpe Gardens appealed to him: “The location was good for me in relation to the town, plus it’s quiet here. I wanted a brand-new home as I knew there would be little maintenance needed”.

And with our all-inclusive specification, which includes integrated kitchen appliances, carpets, and vinyl flooring fitted throughout, Matt was able to settle into his new home very quickly.

“I feel I have got more for my money with my new home; the layout is spacious and well-thought out and the overall quality is better than other new builds I have seen. And the integrated kitchen appliances were a huge help!”

The energy efficiency of his new home is making a difference too: “I am already in credit for both my gas and electric bills – I am saving money for sure, which leaves me more in my pocket”.

Matt told us: “I love my new home; it’s a new start for me. And all my family and friends love it too - my mum wants to move in!”

We always strive to make our customers’ home buying journey as stress-free as possible, and Matt commented: “The support by the whole team has been fantastic and a special shout out to Denise, the Sales Consultant”.

If you think that Shared Ownership could be your route into home ownership, then take it from Matt: “It’s affordable, it helps you onto the property ladder, and you have the option to buy more shares in the future”.

We’re currently building the second phase of homes at Calthorpe Gardens, but they are selling fast – find out more on our website HERE.
