With the aim of helping first time buyers take steps towards getting on the property ladder, Guinness Homes’ Brighton and Hove housing development, Lyon Quarter, is holding a free advice drop-in session on Tuesday 15th September.
The event will run from 3pm-7pm and will welcome attendees to learn more about shared ownership as a route to homeownership.
Hosted in partnership with specialist shared ownership mortgage broker, Censeo Financial, the event will provide specific advice on shared ownership mortgages, the buying process and any legal questions, as well as available properties with Guinness Homes.
Located on Lyon Close, Brighton and Hove, the shared ownership development offers a blend of modern one- and two-bedroom apartments, available with deposits as low as five per cent. Each apartment features a contemporary open plan layout, integrated appliances and fittings, and its own private balcony.
There are seven wheelchair-adapted apartments available at Lyon Quarter, featuring ovens, sockets, switches and window winders at wheelchair height, adjustable worktops and accessible wet rooms. Each apartment also comes with a disabled parking space in the development’s car park.
Prices start at £81,250 with a £4,062.50 deposit for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment, and £104,375 with a £5,218.75 for a 25% share of a two-bedroom apartment.
Hannah Smart, Sales Manager, Guinness Homes’ Lyon Quarter, said: “With over 85% of properties now sold, this really is the last chance for anyone interested to find out more about shared ownership with us at Lyon Quarter.
“These events provide a unique opportunity to have any of your questions answered: be it about the apartments, shared ownership, or even as simple as how you go about obtaining a shared ownership mortgage. We want to make sure anyone interested feels supported from start to finish.
“Previous events have gone on to support multiple people and families in finding the home that’s right for them. With any luck, that next person could be you! We hope to see you here on the first.”
Anthony Hall, director at Censeo Financial, said: “Buying your home through shared ownership is not as confusing as people think. It’s been designed as an affordable and attainable option for anyone looking to buy a home but wouldn’t otherwise be able to do so through traditional outright sale, and we’re here to help you figure out a path that works for you.
“Be sure to book your place on the first of September to come and speak with us directly, there’s no question we’ve not heard before!”
