Let’s hear from Marj, one of our residents at Station Mews Apartments!

Shared Ownership, Shared Experiences: How Downsizing Changed Marj’s Life

Following two major strokes, Marj’s eyesight and physical health took a turn for the worse. Due to this, her beloved three bedroom home, once a place of comfort and independence, had become difficult to manage. Everyday tasks felt overwhelming, and the home she once loved no longer suited her needs, she told us:

I loved everything about my previous home, I especially loved gardening in the summer! But after my strokes, I just couldn’t enjoy it anymore. That’s when I realised I needed to downsize.

When looking for a more suitable home, Marj knew renting wasn’t the right option for her, but she was also unsure about buying an apartment outright. With limited ability to carry out home maintenance, she needed a solution that was both manageable and financially sustainable.

That’s when she discovered Shared Ownership at Station Mews Apartments.

Through the Shared Ownership scheme, Marj was able to purchase a share of her new apartment at a much lower cost than buying outright.

Moving into Station Mews has had a life-changing impact:

When I was living in my old home, I always worried that my son felt responsible for me. He knew I was struggling just to get up and down the stairs.

But since moving here, I feel like I have my son back. He doesn’t have to worry as much anymore. I’m now in a single level apartment that has everything I need.

The Sales Team at Torus really listened and took the time to understand my needs. That made the whole process of choosing an apartment and going through the sale so much easier. I’ll always be grateful. This move truly changed my life for the better.

We still have one bedroom apartments available at Station Mews, if you too are looking to downsize but don’t know where to start, get in touch with our Sales Team today!
