Summary - 138, Skippetts Gardens, BASINGSTOKE RG21 3BY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Shared-ownership one-bed with lift, parking and Juliette balcony — ideal for eligible first-time buyers..
40% share available from £54,000 (rent approx. £185.63 pcm)
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment offered via Shared Ownership in Skippetts Gardens, close to Basingstoke town centre and the mainline station. The open-plan living/kitchen area feels light and sociable and benefits from a Juliette balcony; the double bedroom is generous for the size. Lift access and an allocated off-street parking space add everyday convenience.
This property is sold as a shared ownership home with a 40% share available from £54,000 (approx. rent £185.63 pcm on the unsold share). Service charges are significant (approx. £1,903.80 pa / £158.65 pcm) and the home sits on a long lease (around 125 years remaining). Heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme; this is efficient but may limit control over service arrangements and costs.
There is a local connection clause and eligibility criteria for Shared Ownership (income limit, no other property ownership, minimum deposit), so this is most suitable for first-time buyers or those who meet local connection rules. The apartment is in a quiet, affluent area with good schools nearby and strong transport links to London, offering a low-maintenance base with reasonable potential to buy further shares in future.
Material considerations: the property is leasehold/shared ownership with ongoing service charges and rental payments to the landlord; purchasers should check eligibility, running costs and staircasing terms before proceeding. Broadband and communications are average but mobile signal is excellent.
