The Sidings, Preston, PR3

An exceptional opportunity to step onto the property ladder with this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment at The Sidings, Preston.

Available on a 50% shared ownership basis, the full market value is £150,000, meaning you can secure your share for just £75,000 — with a deposit as low as £3,750, subject to status. Even better, the monthly cost is approximately £225 per month before mortgage payments, making this a genuinely affordable and accessible starter home.

Inside, the apartment offers bright and well-balanced accommodation. The open-plan living and dining area provides a comfortable space to relax or entertain, complemented by a modern fitted kitchen with ample storage and preparation space.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for guests, working from home, or a growing family. A contemporary bathroom completes the accommodation, finished in a clean, neutral style ready to make your own.

What truly enhances this home is the private outside space — perfect for a small garden set, potted plants or simply enjoying some fresh air — along with the invaluable benefit of allocated parking.

Shared Ownership – A Simple Guide to Eligibility

This home is available on a 50% shared ownership basis, a fantastic scheme designed to help buyers take their first step onto the property ladder.

To qualify, you’ll need to meet some standard criteria set by the housing association. In general, shared ownership is aimed at people who:

Are aged 18 or over

Do not currently own a home (or have agreed a sale on their existing property)

Have a household income within the scheme limits

Are unable to purchase a suitable property on the open market outright

Before arranging a viewing, we kindly ask all interested buyers to complete a short affordability assessment.
