SHARED OWNERSHIP (Advertised price represents 45% share. Full market value £430,000). This spacious apartment is on the third floor of a modern development and has a twenty-five-foot, dual-aspect reception room with open-plan kitchen area featuring sleek, handle-less units. A door leads from the living area out onto a south-east-facing balcony. There is a large main bedroom plus a good-sized second double bedroom and a stylish, fully-tiled bathroom. A built-in storage/utility cupboard has been provided in the entrance hall and the demanding insulation standards, high performance glazing and a communal heating/hot water system make for a very good energy-efficiency rating. The local secondary school is Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' and the nearest primary school is also very highly thought of. Victoria Street Bridge, which crosses the picturesque River Cam leading to Jesus Green and Midsummer Common, is only a short walk away. The property comes with use of a parking space.

WHAT IS SHARED OWNERSHIP ?

Shared Ownership is a housing scheme designed to help homebuyers who are unable to afford the cost of buying a property outright on the open market. Properties may be sold off-plan or new build direct from housing associations, or pre-owned from existing shared owners. The rules and terms of the scheme are set by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in London and Homes England outside of London.

IS SHARED OWNERSHIP FOR YOU ?

The GLA and Homes England set the eligibility criteria for Shared Ownership, but broadly speaking you must:

1. Not own another property in the UK or any other country.
2. Have a household income that falls below £90,000 (£80,000 threshold outside the M25). Every property will have a minimum income level too, determined by its value, rent and service charge costs. In most cases you will need to meet or exceed the given minimum income.
3. Have access to a minimum deposit of 10% of the share being purchased (a minimum deposit of 5% of the share being purchased may be acceptable depending on individual financial status).
4. Be in full time permanent employment.
5. Be a British, EU or EEA Citizen or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
6. Have a good credit history.
