Finding the right home is about more than location. It's about finding somewhere that suits your lifestyle, supports your independence and feels right for your future.
If you're considering Shared Ownership, you may be looking at newly built homes. But there's another option that could help you move sooner: a resale home.
At Housing 21, we currently have a range of Shared Ownership resale properties available across a number of our Retirement Living and Extra Care schemes. These homes are ready to move into now, giving you the opportunity to become part of an established community without waiting for a new development to be completed.
What is a Shared Ownership resale home?
A Shared Ownership resale home is a property that has previously been owned through the Shared Ownership scheme and is now available for someone new to purchase. You buy a share of the property and pay rent on the remaining share, making home ownership more accessible than buying on the open market outright.
The home itself may not be brand new, but it offers many of the same benefits, along with some advantages that are unique to resale properties.
The benefits of a Shared Ownership resale home
Move in sooner: One of the main benefits of a resale property is that it's available now. Rather than waiting for a development to be completed, you can start your moving journey straight away and settle into your new home sooner.
Join an established community: Resale homes are already part of thriving communities where residents have built friendships and connections. From day one, you'll have the opportunity to become part of a welcoming environment and enjoy the social benefits that community living can bring.
Enjoy independent living: Housing 21's Retirement Living and Extra Care schemes are designed to help residents maintain their independence while offering reassurance and support when needed. Choosing a Shared Ownership home means you can enjoy the privacy of your own front door alongside the benefits of living in a purpose-designed community.
See exactly what you're getting: With a resale property, what you see is what you get. You can view the home, explore the surroundings and get a feel for the community before making your decision.
Is a Shared Ownership resale property right for you?
Every person's circumstances are different, so it's important to explore all your options and find the home that's right for you.

- Want to move sooner rather than later
