A new start and a new home at Micklewell Park, Daventry
Meet Darren, who recently moved into his new home at Micklewell Park, our thriving new development on the outskirts of Daventry.
Following a relationship breakdown, Darren was looking for a new home that would be suitable for him and his three children. He regularly drove past Micklewell Park so one day decided to pop in and have a chat with our friendly sales team.
Micklewell Park offers a wide range of house styles and purchasing options and Darren was pleased to find homes available to buy with Shared Ownership. “I didn’t want to rent, as I had some equity from the sale of my last home. However, this wasn’t enough to purchase outright, so the option to buy with Shared Ownership was affordable and within my budget.”
Shared Ownership is a more affordable way to buy a new home. It allows you to purchase a share of a new build home and pay a subsidised monthly rent on the unsold share. You then have the option to buy further shares in the future and in most cases, own the property outright.
After viewing one of our show homes Darren chose The Heather, a two-bedroom house “Which was exactly what I was looking for.”
Our homes are built to our high, all-inclusive specification and come with many features as standard, including integrated kitchen appliances, carpets and vinyl flooring, fitted wardrobe to the main bedroom, and turf & closeboard fencing to the rear garden.
Once he had reserved his new home, Darren found the buying process with Shared Ownership very straightforward and was fully supported by our sales team throughout: “Emily in the sales office was excellent throughout the process and was always very positive and supportive – 10/10 for service!”
Now that he has moved into his new home, we asked Darren how he is settling in: “I love the view opposite, the layout of the rooms, the outside brick colour, the space in all the rooms … everything!”
“Everything has been perfect; I’ve bought new build homes before and the quality from Orbit Homes is above all others on every level.”
“My friends and family absolutely love it too and keep saying how lucky I am and how perfect it is for me.”
Buying with Shared Ownership was the right move for Darren, and he has this advice for anyone thinking of doing the same: “Do it! It’s a better option than renting and a great opportunity to build your ownership percentage over the coming years.”
We’ll soon be offering the next phase of homes at Micklewell Park, including new Shared Ownership homes, so keep an eye on our website for updates HERE.
