Shared Ownership and Purchase Considerations

With Shared Ownership at Fount Spring Place, if you qualify, you can start by buying between 25% and 75% of your home's total market value. You then pay a reduced rent on the part you don't own, which can make it easier to enter the property market. This approach lets you begin building equity sooner, and as the value of your share increases over time, your investment can grow. Later on, you might have the option to buy more shares, eventually owning up to 100% of the property, which could further increase your return if property values rise.

It’s a good idea to always check the current price against the official price list, because service charges and which apartments are available can change. Anyone looking at homes for sale in Purley should carefully consider their eligibility, mortgage situation, the apartment's floor level, the service charge, the direction their balcony or terrace faces, and their plans for long-term ownership before making a reservation.
