This compact two-bedroom semi offers an affordable route onto the housing ladder through shared ownership, with purchase options from 25% to 75% and a low 5% deposit example. The home is newly built and comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty covering major structural defects, providing reassurance for first-time buyers.
The specification focuses on running-cost savings: air-source heating, solar panels, high-performance glazing and an EV charging point reduce energy bills and support a predicted EPC A. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances and French doors to a turfed, fenced rear garden; there is also a living room, downstairs WC and storage. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor.
Practical positives include private off-street parking, new carpets and vinyl in wet areas, and an exceptionally long 990-year lease so you will not need to extend. The price point and shared-ownership structure make this especially suitable for first-time buyers seeking a low-deposit, low-running-cost home.
Be realistic about constraints: the property is small (approximately 321 sq ft overall) and sits in an area with very high deprivation and above-average crime rates, which may affect resale or rental appeal. Council tax band and some local services are to be confirmed. Buyers who prioritise low purchase cost and energy efficiency over space will find genuine value here.
