Why rent when you could own in Kent?

Buying with shared ownership could be the step onto the property ladder you’ve been looking for.

According to Rightmove, the average asking rent for the South East region is £1,676 per calendar month*. With shared ownership, your outgoing could be £1,196 a month for a two bedroom apartment at Ashmere.

This example demonstrates a potential outgoings saving of £480 a month, for your first step on the property ladder.

Day-to-day costs may also be lower with new-build homes. They require less maintenance and tend to be more energy-efficient than existing homes. Your energy bills could be lower too due to more energy-efficient design features.
