How Amy Found Her Home with Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership, Shared Experiences: How Amy regained her independence
After moving back home with her parents, Amy was eager to find a place of her own and regain her independence. However, with rising rents and the cost of buying outright far beyond her budget, she knew shared ownership was the route to take.
She told us,
Even before I started to look for a home, I knew I was going to buy with shared ownership. I feel like shared ownership is the only way onto the property ladder if you’re buying on your own.
With shared ownership, I have all the benefits of home ownership but at a price I can afford.
Amy saw lots of new build popping up in her area but only until she did her research, did she realise that with Torus Homes, she could be living in a brand new community too.
Now, a few months down the line, Amy and her cat are happily settled into their new home at Rivers Edge in Warrington. Her new home has given her the financial security, freedom, and the independence she was looking for.
When asked what advice she’d give to potential shared owners, Amy said:
“Make sure you do your research and understand the product. But if you’re buying on your own, I really recommend shared ownership, it’s a great way to invest your money and get a lift onto the property ladder.”
Thank you for choosing to buy with Torus!
