An early start onto the property ladder
Shared ownership helps 21 year old nurse secure her first home at Highcross in Croydon.
Determined to be a homeowner
The average first-time buyer is 33, while the average new buyer deposit is a whopping £61,090, placing homeownership out of reach for many first-time buyers. But for nurse Danielle Tcheugoue (now 22), sheer determination and a solid commitment to saving meant she was able to buy her first home at just 21 years old. Using shared ownership to get a foot on the property ladder, Danielle bought a stylish one-bedroom apartment at Highcross in the heart of West Croydon.
