The Development:

Birch House forms part of a modern residential scheme completed in 2021. The development is designed to be both stylish and practical, with lift access to all floors, secure entry, gated allocated parking, and a residents’ gym included at no monthly  charge. Its central location allows buyers to enjoy High Wycombe’s shopping, dining, and leisure facilities all within easy reach.

What We Love:

What makes this apartment special is the combination of affordability, style, and lifestyle perks. The shared ownership scheme makes owning a home genuinely achievable, while the modern design means it is ready to move into without any hassle. The secure gated parking adds real value so close to the town centre, and the free residents’ gym is a brilliant extra that sets Birch House apart. Being able to walk to the shops, green spaces, and the station adds to the convenience, making this a perfect first step onto the property ladder.

How Shared Ownership Works:

With shared ownership, you buy a 50% share of the property and pay a reduced rent on the remaining 50% to the housing provider. This makes your initial deposit and monthly costs more affordable than buying outright. Over time, you may have the option to purchase further shares, increasing your ownership until you own the property in full.

Indicative Costs:
Living here could cost approximately £850 per month (mortgage + rent + service charge) compared to renting the same flat for around £1,200 per month. This shows why shared ownership is such a great way to get onto the ladder. (Figures are illustrative only and will depend on your personal circumstances.)

Leasehold Information:

The property has approximately 244 years remaining on the lease. Ground rent is a peppercorn (£0.00 per year) and the current service charge is £1,564 per annum. Council Tax Band  = B. EPC Rating = C.
