Dodington, Whitchurch

BRIEF DESCRIPTION If we were to use three words to describe this property they would be SURPRISING, CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE. Surprising because it is so much bigger than it looks from the outside, convenient because the location is great for the town centre and local amenities, and finally affordable because a 50% share is being sold.

What does buying a shared ownership of 16 Dodington actually mean?

If you are struggling to find a home that you can afford to buy Shared Ownership could be a possible solution. Shared Ownership is a halfway house between renting and buying as it helps to reduce one of the biggest barriers to home ownership which is raising a large enough deposit. Shared ownership schemes are run by Housing Associations, in this case it is Sanctuary Housing. A 50% share of 16 Dodington is on offer for sale here, so a mortgage would need to be taken out for the 50% share and you pay an affordable rent on the remaining 50% to the housing association. The main advantage of this is that as you only need a smaller mortgage, the deposit will also be smaller. In time, as financial circumstances allow, you can increase your owned share of the property up to 100%. A common misconception is that Shared Ownership is for first time buyers only. That is not necessarily the case, for instance if you used to own a home or currently own a home but cannot afford to buy a new one, you may qualify. A household income would need to be less than £80,000 per annum to qualify.

The generously sized accommodation comprises Entrance Hall, Cloakroom with hand basin and WC, and L-shaped Kitchen/Diner/Lounge perfect for modern day family living, with doors leading to the Garden. The Master Bedroom with Ensuite Shower Room is on the first floor, along with another large room which would make an ideal additional Lounge if it is not needed as a bedroom. The second floor completes the accommodation having a further Two Bedrooms and the Family Bathroom. Outside there is a low maintenance Garden with a gate leading to the allocated Parking Space.
