A practical two-bedroom shared ownership apartment in the modern Newton Leys development, offered at a 55% share price of £112,750. The flat sits in a contemporary brick block built after 2007 and provides an entrance hall, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a main bathroom—an approachable layout for first-time buyers stepping onto the property ladder.
The home benefits from allocated off-street parking, double glazing, gas central heating and a long remaining lease of 117 years. Monthly outgoings are straightforward: rent of £291 and an average service charge of £97.05, while council tax is described as low, helping keep running costs manageable.
Be aware of two practical drawbacks: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may limit home working or streaming without upgrades, and the immediate neighbourhood is classified as very deprived despite low recorded crime. Local schooling is mixed; there are several nearby primary schools (one rated Good, another Requires Improvement) and a local secondary with a concerning Ofsted rating, so parents should check schools individually.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry using shared ownership. It offers a secure, low-maintenance base with potential to personalise interiors, but buyers should factor in broadband limitations and the wider area profile when deciding to view.
