The area

The city of Canterbury dates back to Roman times, remnants of which still remain today along with medieval and Victorian architecture. The glorious Canterbury Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is just under a mile by foot and is enjoyed all year round by worshippers and visitors alike. Canterbury West train station is just 1.4 miles walk and runs the high speed service which takes you to London St Pancras in under an hour. Canterbury city centre has a wealth of independent shops as well as major brands you would expect to see on the high street. The cosmopolitan nature of Canterbury's residents has led to an array of restaurants and cafes serving dishes from across the globe.

Share to buy scheme

The cost of housing has increased dramatically compared to wages over the last few years. This trend has been particularly marked in areas close to London and so has hit us in the South and South East. It has become increasingly difficult to take the first step and get on the housing ladder.

We are, therefore, really pleased to be working in association with partners who are able to offer the following scheme to enable you to own your own home.

 

Share to buy (formally Shared Ownership)

If outright purchase is not an option for you, this scheme offers an alternative to renting. You can buy an initial share in a new home that you can afford, helping you into home ownership in manageable stages. Shared ownership is always leasehold.
The Housing Association or Registered Provider will offer initial shares of between 25% - 75% of the full purchase price. You pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share that the Housing Association or Registered Provider still own. The combined monthly cost of mortgage and rent will normally be less than if you were purchasing the property outright.
In the future you can simply sell your share for its value at the time or alternatively you can purchase further shares in your home.
With most properties you are eventually able to own the property outright if you wish to, although there are some restrictions on rural schemes. You are eligible for the scheme if your household earns £80,000 a year or less (or £90,000 a year or less in London) and any of the following apply:
  • you are a first-time buyer
  • you used to own a home, but can’t afford to buy one now
  • you are an existing shared owner
  • the criteria can vary but you need to be able to prove a connection to the local area. e.g. if you were born there, family are currently living there, you have lived there for 2-5 years or currently have permanent work there.
