Ben & Cinderella’s Journey to The Blossoms

Shared Ownership, Shared Experiences: How Ben and his family secured a new build home at a price they could afford at The Blossoms

When Ben and Cinderella began their search for a new home, they had their sights set on a classic new-build property. But with outright sale prices stretching far beyond their budget, the dream seemed out of reach.

That was until Ben came across The Blossoms.

At the time, he wasn’t aware of the Shared Ownership scheme, but after researching it and speaking to a mortgage adviser, Ben realised it could be the affordable route into the brand-new home they’d been looking for.

We wanted somewhere we could put our money into, rather than see our income disappear on rent.

That’s why Shared Ownership worked perfectly for us. We could buy a share in a new-build home at a price within our budget.

Through an external affordability assessment, we received advice on the share that would be most manageable and affordable for us as a family. It was reassuring to know we could still enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without worrying about our housing costs.

Like many first-time buyers, Ben and Cinderella had been worried about how long it would take to save a large deposit. But at The Blossoms, homes start from £55,000 for a 25% share, meaning deposits can be as low as £5,500 (based on a 10% deposit).

Now, they’re happily settled in their new home, enjoying the space, style, and peace of mind that comes with home ownership.

We’re delighted to have helped them take this step – and we still have a range of beautiful homes available at The Blossoms.
