Escomb Court, Godstone Road, Whyteleafe, CR3


Description

SHARED EQUITY. (No rent to pay. Advertised price represents 75% share. Full market value £210,000.) This stylishly-presented, ground-floor apartment features a twenty-foot reception room with an open-plan, and significantly-upgraded, kitchen area. The spacious bedroom includes a bank of built-in wardrobes, there is a bathroom with decorative tiling and an entrance hall large enough to serve as a home office. Well insulated walls, modern double glazing and gas central heating make for a good energy-efficiency rating. The property comes with use of an off-street parking space and Escomb Court is also just minutes from Whyteleafe South Station which offers rail services between Caterham and London Bridge.

Shared equity is a scheme designed to help first time buyers purchase a home they may not normally be able to afford on the open market. By retaining a 25% stake in the property, a housing association can offer the property for 75% of the full market value and, if you choose to, you can staircase up to 100% in the future, when it's affordable to you. Unlike Shared Ownership (part buy/part rent), there's no rent to pay on the share you don't own, so it's even more affordable.

WHAT IS SHARED OWNERSHIP ?

Shared Ownership is a housing scheme designed to help homebuyers who are unable to afford the cost of buying a property outright on the open market. Properties may be sold off-plan or new build direct from housing associations, or pre-owned from existing shared owners. The rules and terms of the scheme are set by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in London and Homes England outside of London.

IS SHARED OWNERSHIP FOR YOU ?

The GLA and Homes England set the eligibility criteria for Shared Ownership, but broadly speaking you must:

1. Not own another property in the UK or any other country.
2. Have a household income that falls below £90,000 (£80,000 threshold outside the M25). Every property will have a minimum income level too, determined by its’ value, rent and service charge costs. In most cases you will need to meet or exceed the given minimum income.
3. Have access to a minimum deposit of 10% of the share being purchased (a minimum deposit of 5% of the share being purchased may be acceptable depending on individual financial status).
4. Be in full time permanent employment.
5. Be a British, EU or EEA Citizen or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
6. Have a good credit history.
