Shared Ownership - backing a winner in Pontefract!
Michael Evans and Emma Gardiner are the first customers to purchase a property at Rosa Court, Pontefract, through Rosa Homes' shared ownership scheme. The couple and daughter Megan lived in a flat at Baghill Court before these were demolished and were subsequently re-homed in a Chevin Housing Association rented property in Featherstone. The couple wanted to come back to the Baghill area and were delighted when they viewed their 3-bedroom house and were able to afford the property through the shared ownership scheme.
Mr Evans said "This part of Baghill has totally changed from what it used to be, the scheme is well designed, looks modern and is more family friendly. Purchasing through shared ownership has allowed us to move up the ladder from rented to now owning part of a brand new home. These houses are built with lots of environmentally friendly features so we should see a reduction in our utility bills which can only be better for us. We can't wait to move in to our beautiful new home and not have much to do. The size of the house is great for the family and I am looking forward to seeing the site develop as more homes are built. The staff at Rosa Homes have been great, they helped me through the whole shared ownership process and I would recommend anyone to give Rosa staff a call to see if shared ownership is right for them".
Christine Eccles, Senior Sales & Marketing Co-ordinator for Rosa Homes commented "It is great that we are able to help First Time Buyers get on to the property ladder. These superb homes are available through the New build Homebuy Scheme and we are pleased to say that through this method of purchasing there is a lot of interest in this scheme."
The transformation is well under way at Rosa Court, Baghill in Pontefract where 51 new homes are being built (20 x two bed and 31 x three bed homes) starting from as little as £31,250 for a 25% share of a 2 bed house.
