AFFORDABLE WAYS TO BUY:
At Goldfinch Point, we're proud to offer affordable ways to buy, including Older Persons Shared Ownership (OPSO) and Anchor Shared Ownership - flexible schemes designed to make later living more accessible.
How it works:
- You can purchase a share of your home (between 25% and 90% of its value), funded through savings, pension withdrawals, or equity from the sale of your current home.
- You'll pay rent on the remaining share, set at 4.5% per annum of the unpurchased value (for Anchor Shared Ownership) or 2.75% (for OPSO).
- If you purchase the maximum share (75% under OPSO, or 90% under Anchor), no rent is payable.
- A monthly service charge also applies, covering upkeep, communal amenities, and services.
Key benefits of Shared Ownership:
- Lower upfront costs compared to buying outright
- Flexibility to increase your share over time
- The ability to right-size to a home designed for your needs
- Security of tenure - you are the legal homeowner
- Government support may be available towards rent or service charges
- Peace of mind: your new home is modern, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance
