Affordable new-build two-bedroom semi in Wakefield with garden and parking via Shared Ownership..
50% shared ownership available from £127,500 (full value £255,000)
This new-build two-bedroom semi-detached home is offered through Shared Ownership, enabling first-time buyers to purchase a 50% share from £127,500 (full price £255,000). The Levenstead layout provides a ground-floor kitchen/diner, lounge and cloakroom, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The 695 sq ft footprint is efficiently planned for modern living, with a private garden and off-street parking for convenience.
Shared Ownership lowers the up-front cost and can suit buyers with household incomes up to £80,000. You will pay rent on the unsold share and may staircase to buy a larger share later; eligibility and monthly costs depend on your affordability and the rent charged. The lease is long (990 years), which removes short-lease concerns common with some new developments.
Practical considerations: the home is in a wider area classed as deprived with a higher local crime rate, which may affect insurance and feel of the neighbourhood. The property has one bathroom and is a compact, average-sized family home rather than a large house — purchasers seeking more space should note the modest room sizes. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and several well-regarded schools are within reach, making this a realistic option for first-time buyers or small families.
As a new build, finishes and fittings may vary from illustrations and some fixtures might not be included in the standard specification. Prospective buyers should confirm exact specification, running costs (rent on the retained share), and eligibility before committing.
