This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Gunthorpe is offered through Shared Ownership with a 40% share available, making home ownership more achievable for first-time buyers. The property benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, a conservatory that adds living space, and allocated off-street parking — practical features for everyday life. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as strong, and there is no flooding risk. The home sits roughly 5.2 miles from Peterborough city centre and the mainline station with London links.
Financially it is attractively priced for a shared-ownership purchase: full market value is £205,000 with a 40% share available at £82,000. Monthly costs are moderate: rent £292.00 and a below-average service charge of £36.82. The scheme allows you to buy larger shares over time (staircase to 100%), offering a clear route to full ownership.
There are material issues to consider before viewing. The lease has 84 years remaining — legally acceptable for purchase but short enough that you should budget to renew the lease sooner rather than later; lease extension costs can be significant and may affect mortgage options. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived, which may influence long-term resale or rental demand. The home is leasehold and subject to the shared-ownership conditions.
Overall this is a pragmatic option for a first-time buyer who needs a lower entry price and who is comfortable with shared-ownership terms and the practicalities of a shorter lease. A survey and early legal advice about lease extension and the shared-ownership contract are recommended before committing.
