These properties are available for Shared Ownership

Older Persons Shared Ownership lets you enjoy retirement living to the full, without paying in full—and many people are surprised to learn that they’re eligible.

The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 990 years from and including 01/06/2024

You can buy part of your home and pay rent on the rest, so you can move in and enjoy the benefits of the McCarthy Stone lifestyle without committing to outright purchase. The Shared Ownership scheme is run in conjunction with Homes England, our government approved partner.

You can enjoy the McCarthy Stone lifestyle without paying the full purchase price.
Buying a percentage share of the property allows you to manage your finances to cater for possible future needs.
If you buy 75% of the value of the property, there is no rent to pay on the outstanding share.
You could claim up to £500 a year to help with essential repairs in the first 10 years.

With this scheme, you can purchase up to 75% of the value of your property – and if you own 75%, you won’t pay any rent on the outstanding 25% share. It provides a more affordable way to buy one of our retirement properties.

Shared Ownership is when you buy part of your property and rent the rest. It enables customers to enjoy a McCarthy Stone property without committing to purchase 100% of the property value.

No, Shared Ownership is available at selected developments and exclusions do apply. Speak to a Sales Consultant to find out more.

McCarthy & Stone (Shared Ownership) Limited will become your landlord on the share you don’t buy.

Before entering into the Shared Ownership agreement, we recommend that you obtain independent financial advice so you know what your new home will cost and that you can afford it.

If you take up our Shared Ownership offer, we require you to have a financial assessment with an Independent Advisor to make sure you can afford the ongoing costs both today and if your circumstances change. We will put you in contact with an advisor who has experience of Shared Ownership schemes and can assess your eligibility.

You should plan for some one-off costs associated with your purchase, including, but not limited to the following:

• Reservation deposit (which is deducted from your final purchase)

• Solicitors Fees and disbursements

• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in England.

Your solicitor will be able to tell you if the tax applies and how much it will be

• Estate Agent fees if selling a current property
