Find a home in Leeds on Share to Buy

Welcome to Leeds

There are a number of great benefits to living in the north of England – cheaper property prices, stunning fields of glorious Yorkshire greenery and, of course, that sense of local pride and distinctive culture. If you’re looking to take advantage of all this, alongside all the benefits of living in a major city, such as convenience, variety and job opportunities, then Leeds might just be the perfect place for you. Few other parts in the UK can offer so much without charging top-end London prices for everything that’s available right on your doorstep.

One of the UK’s top city for employment, what really makes Leeds stand out is the diversity of its economy. This means that people from all walks of life, skill sets and education can find Leeds to be the perfect city to showcase their talents. And thanks to an excellent public transport system, getting to work – or anywhere else for that matter – is made easy and accessible. But there’s much more to Leeds than a thriving job market.

Not only is its variety of opportunities astonishing, but so is the variety of things to do here. Nature lovers will find themselves right at home, thanks to Leeds’ stunning greenbelt land, which makes up a sizeable portion of the district.

Music fans can choose from venues big and small, with the recently built First Direct Arena bringing in stadium-sized acts, while historic venues like the Brudenell Social Club are still the place to be to see the best up and coming talent. Lovers of the performing arts will also find few places better. The city is home to the likes of the Grand Theatre, City Varieties Music Hall, Northern Ballet Theatre and more. This is without even mentioning their thrilling nightlife scene, thriving student population and educational opportunities, great pubs, clubs and restaurants, along with a long-standing love affair with sports of all kinds.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.
