Beuley View and Shared Ownership the ‘perfect fit’ for father finding ‘forever home’ with Orbit Homes
Five years after moving to the UK from South Africa, Greg wished to find a ‘forever home’ where he could really settle down with his 10-year-old son and Orbit Homes at Beuley View quickly struck them as the perfect fit.
The two immediately felt the ‘warmth and comfort’ that they wished for when they first viewed a house at Beuley View, a partnership development between Orbit Homes and Vistry at Peters Village in Wouldham.
Greg and his son are the first Orbit Homes residents to move into the affordable housebuilder’s new homes at Beuley View, with Greg adding that the two-bedroom house type they chose ‘just felt right’.
“We chose this particular home because it just felt right. From the moment we saw it, there was something about the neighbourhood and the house itself. It had the warmth and comfort we were looking for, and I could easily picture my son and I building our life here. It feels like the perfect fit for our future.”
As a single parent the part-buy and part-rent arrangement of Shared Ownership provided a more manageable path for Greg to purchase a new home, allowing him to buy a share of the property now and gradually increase this over time.
“With only one income to rely on, the Shared Ownership scheme was the right choice. This option made it possible for us to afford a home that meets our needs without overstretching finances. It felt like a practical and supportive way to secure a stable future for my son and I.”
Being the first time that Greg has purchased a home, he wasn’t fully aware of the Shared Ownership scheme before, but now believes it is a pathway to home ownership that is ‘well worth exploring’:
“My advice to anyone considering buying through Shared Ownership is to focus on your own experience as it’s important to remember that everyone’s situation is different. Take the time to understand the process and speak with knowledgeable professionals who can guide you. In my experience, the process has been positive, and it’s worth giving it a fair chance.”
Greg is particularly enjoying the lovely surroundings since moving into the family’s new home at Beuley View, which family and friends absolutely love from the photos they’ve shared:
“What I love about our home and the area is the wonderful natural surroundings. The area has a beautiful blend of nature, with wonderful lakes and plenty of green spaces. It’s such a peaceful and refreshing environment. The combination of a comfortable home and the scenic beauty right outside our door makes it an ideal home for us.”
Greg appreciates the support his family’s received from Orbit Homes and Sales Consultant, Jemmah, on every step of the way, commenting:
“The support from Orbit Homes and Jemmah has been amazing throughout, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Everything has stood out for me, from the quality of the home itself to everyone always taking the time to answer our questions, guide us through each step and ensure that we’ve felt confident in our decision – making everything so much easier.
“Choosing Orbit Homes felt right, not just because of the quality of the homes, but because of the exceptional support we received throughout the journey. The experience has been excellent and Orbit Homes has exceeded my expectations in every way.”
Orbit Homes will deliver a total of 56 affordable homes at Beuley View once it’s completed, including a mix of two-bedroom apartments and coach houses, along with two and three bedroom houses.
Beuley View is located in the charming area of Peters Village in Wouldham, offering all the benefits of village life and lovely natural surroundings with the larger town’s amenities within easy reach. Access to both the M2 and M20, and Snodland train station just a five-minute drive away, leaves Beuley View well-connected to the rest of Kent and London.
