Why rent if you can own in York?
Buying with shared ownership could be the step onto the property ladder you’ve been looking for.
According to home.co.uk, the York asking average rent is £1,796* per calendar month. With shared ownership, your outgoing could be £1,239 a month for a two bedroom apartment at The Cocoa Works.
This example demonstrates a potential outgoings saving of £557 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 also be lower due to more energy-efficient design features.
