Get your foot on the property ladder with Shared Ownership!

*Subject to availability, terms and conditions apply

Shared ownership Disclaimer
Shared Ownership offers an affordable route to home-ownership for those who may not be able to buy on the open market. With this flexible scheme, you can purchase a share of a new home—typically between 25% and 75%—and pay a reduced rent on the remaining portion. This means you’ll only need a mortgage for the share you are buying, helping to lower both your upfront costs and monthly payments. Over time, you have the option to increase your ownership share through a process known as "staircasing," potentially leading to full ownership of your home. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking for a more manageable way to own a property, Shared Ownership makes getting on the property ladder more achievable.

Once known as "Steel Town," Consett was a powerhouse of industry, employing over 6,000 workers at its peak. The steel produced here helped construct landmarks like Blackpool Tower and even contributed to the UK's submarine fleet. While its industrial past is legendary, Consett has since transformed into a thriving, modern town undergoing exciting regeneration. A wave of new homes is being built at competitive prices, making it an increasingly attractive option for homebuyers and investors alike. Consett is particularly popular with families thanks to its strong education options, including Consett Academy on Ashdale Road, St. Bede's Catholic School and Sixth Form in Lanchester, and Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham.

The town also boasts excellent amenities. Hermiston Retail Park, located at the bottom of the high street, offers big-name stores like B&Q and Matalan, as well as popular coffee spots like Starbucks and Costa. Several supermarkets are conveniently located nearby, including Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and Lidl. Film and TV fans may be surprised to learn that Consett is the birthplace of Rowan Atkinson, the iconic actor behind Mr. Bean!

Just 20 minutes from Durham and 30 minutes from Newcastle, Consett offers a fantastic balance between countryside living and city accessibility. Housing here is much more affordable compared to nearby cities, with renovation properties starting from just £40,000 and spacious 4+ bedroom homes available for around £350,000, depending on location and specifications. If you're looking to rent, you'll find two-bedroom flats or terraced houses from as little as £600pcm. Long-term lets are common in the area, and most rental properties come unfurnished allowing you to truly make a place your own.
