Shared Ownership Makes Dream Come True For Warwickshire Buyer

Danni has taken her first step onto the property ladder with Shared Ownership, at Orbit Homes’ Shepherd’s Gate development in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire.

Originally from Shipston-on-Stour and working for a local charity, Danni was privately renting but dreamt of owning her own home. With today’s housing marketing more challenging than ever, the dream seemed out of reach until she heard from close friends about buying a home through Shared Ownership.

The Shared Ownership scheme allows customers to purchase an agreed percentage of a new home, usually from 25% to 75%, and pay a subsidised monthly rent on the remaining share. As the deposit based on the share customers buy, it’s a more affordable way to get onto the property ladder.

Danni started looking for Shared Ownership homes in the local area and saw the signage for Orbit Homes’ Shepherd’s Gate development, which was offering brand-new two and three-bedroom houses. She was very impressed with the high specification of the homes and the integrated kitchen appliances.

The two-bedroom ‘Cheviot’ property appealed to Danni as it was within her price range and had everything she was looking for in a new home, including a fully turfed garden, which was the perfect playground for her cocker spaniel, Coco!

As a first-time buyer, Danni was really happy with the service she received from the Orbit Homes sales team. She says: “I felt fully supported by Orbit [Homes] through the entire buying process. What I thought would be a very daunting and scary experience, was actually made very easy.”

Danni has now moved into her new home and is reaping the benefits; she is saving on energy bills, she didn’t need to decorate or refurbish, and she’s living close to family and friends, who are also impressed. She says: “They love it! My mum wishes she could live here!”

Orbit Homes is delighted to have helped Danni get onto the property ladder with Shared Ownership and it’s great to hear her say: “A huge thanks to everyone at Orbit [Homes] for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a homeowner!”

All two- and three-bedroom homes at Shepherd’s Gate have now been reserved. The beautiful show home will be released for sale soon, so register your interest today, as this will be the last chance to buy at Shepherd’s Gate.

Orbit Homes currently has two other new communities underway in the Midlands, including Micklewell Park in Daventry and Orbit at Hanwood Park in Kettering.
