Shared-equity means you buy a 75% share of the property while Saxon Weald retain ownership of the remainder. There is no rent to pay on the 25% share owned by Saxon Weald.
To apply, please complete the following steps:
Applicants must complete an expression of interest form and arrange to view the property, this can be found in the downloads tab.
Upon request, applicants must provide supporting documentation noted on the Expression of Interest form so a thorough affordability assessment can be carried out. It is a Saxon Weald requirement that applicants have a maximum of £500,000 available to them in savings, assets and sale proceeds at the time of applying. Applicants who exceed this amount will be automatically declined unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please ask for further details.
If the affordability assessment is successful a Scheme and Care Manager assessment is to be carried out.
On successful completion of both assessments above, applicants will be issued with a formal offer to purchase which will need to be accepted alongside a reservation fee of £500.
