The smart step in buying your home. You might have thought that the cost of houses in Devon would be prohibitive in such a competitive market, but our homes in Lovering View are all for sale under our smart, simple shared ownership scheme.

There are no catches - you just buy an affordable share and pay rent on the remaining amount. You can also increase your shares as your finances permit, this is called staircasing.

It allows you to get your foot on the property ladder much more easily than buying outright. You can learn more about shared ownership, or just call us and we'll be happy to answer your questions.

There's a few bits and pieces you need to tick to be able to buy a shared ownership home, but not much. These are:

• You must be 18 or over
• Your household is bringing in no more than £80,000 income a year (or £90,000 if you're in London)
• You don't own a home already
• You may be in the process of selling a home, however, to be able to buy a shared ownership home from us, the property sale must have an offer accepted before we will accept your application.
• You're able to show you can afford to maintain the costs of buying your own home
• You're a British or EU/EEA citizen or have indefinite leave to remain

Shared ownership costs are generally lower than alternative housing options for a number of reasons; it's great for people who have the goal of buying their own home but do not have the funds to buy on the open market.

Shared ownership offers rent that is less than the rate charged on the open market and most people can start off with a 40% share but in some cases as little as a 10% share, depending on the terms of your lease. This therefore means a low deposit - typically only 5% of the share you are buying and not of the whole property value.

The first step in buying your shared ownership home with Aster is to contact us, either by filling in the contact form below or over the phone.

Beginning your journey to shared ownership is not as daunting as you may think, once you know if you meet the criteria you can begin searching for suitable properties. Once you have found a home, you will of course need to ensure you meet  the required criteria and be approved for a mortgage- however Aster can advise on this as you progress.
