How Luke, Jonathan and Tiarna bought their home together!

Shared Ownership, Shared Experiences: Buying with friends!

Luke, Jonathan, and Tiarna are three best friends who were living separately but wanted to invest their savings in a home they could all benefit from.

Working in banking, the trio had a good understanding of Shared Ownership and saw it as the perfect opportunity to get onto the property ladder as young professionals.

Luke shared his experience with us:

“Before we got our Shared Ownership home, one of my friends was living in Ireland, and the other was living on my sofa! We were desperate to find a place that could fit us all and work for us financially.

We were all eager to get onto the property ladder and stop renting, but as young professionals, we struggled to find a home that was right and within our budgets. GLISK was the first development that felt like a serious option. The house itself is perfect for us: it has a large footprint with a garden, three double bedrooms, a spacious living area, and a kitchen that suits our needs. We also have a fourth guest bedroom, which is great for when we want to invite friends over.

This home provides long-term security too as we have the flexibility to buy more shares in the future or buy each other out if necessary.”

Luke also pointed out a major financial benefit:

“Through Shared Ownership, I’m actually paying less each month than I was when I rented a one-bedroom apartment!”
