Shared Equity - Buying a property with shared equity in the UK offers an affordable way to get onto the property ladder. With shared equity, buyers typically purchase a percentage of the home’s value (usually between 50-75%) while a housing provider or government scheme covers the remaining portion. This means lower deposit and mortgage requirements, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers or those struggling to save for a large deposit.

In addition to reduced upfront costs, shared equity schemes often come with the benefit of a lower monthly mortgage payment, as the loan is based on the percentage of the property the buyer owns. This allows buyers to invest in a property they may not otherwise be able to afford, while also gaining full ownership of the portion they purchase, providing long-term financial security and the potential for capital growth.

The Village Of Sowerby - The village of Sowerby links with Thirsk, but retains its own identity and is set in the heart of 'Herriot Country', the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park to the east. Thirsk is also the Darrowby of the late 'James Herriot' (Alf Wight), famous vet and author.

On Front Street, which is the main road through the village, an avenue lined with trees, is an old timbered house and the historical village church, and over Cod Beck at the southern end is an old packhorse bridge.

Local facilities include a reputable public house and a nursing home. There are several schools in Sowerby -Thirsk School on Topcliffe Road, and also a primary school. The village is within easy access of the A1, A19/A168 for commuting both north to Teesside and south to York.
