From Renting to Owning a Home
“Renting is so restrictive; living in someone else’s house doesn’t give you that same sense of ‘home’ that comes with owning. We can’t wait to be in a home that’s ours and have the security of knowing we’re not facing random rent rises or the possibility of a landlord selling up. We’re looking forward to decorating and putting up pictures too – all those freedoms that are stripped away when you rent.”
Like many renters, Kelly and Rob were ready for the security and freedom of owning a home. For them, the journey from renting to ownership happened faster than they ever imagined.
A spontaneous visit to the London Home Show introduced them to Hyde New Homes. Less than a week later, they had reserved a Shared Ownership home at Wildbridge in Yapton.
Why Shared Ownership Was the Right Choice
Fed up with the restrictions of renting, Kelly explains:
“Shared Ownership was right for us due to our age. It also means we can maintain our current lifestyle. It feels amazing to be getting back onto the property ladder. Shared Ownership has enabled us to do that. We’re delighted that we can afford such an amazing family home with so much space.”
With Shared Ownership, buyers purchase an initial share of a property and pay a subsidised rent on the part they don’t yet own. This allows you to step onto the property ladder with a smaller deposit. At any time, you can buy more shares through a process called staircasing – right up to full ownership.
Kelly and Rob used a £14,000 deposit to purchase a 25% share of a four-bedroom detached family home at Wildbridge.
The Hyde Difference
Hyde has been building homes across the South East of England for nearly 60 years, from Kent through to London and along the Sussex Coast.
“We didn’t feel pressured at all, buying with Hyde New Homes,” says Kelly. “We were able to do an early bird reservation with no obligation. It was all very relaxed, which made the decision really easy. With the London Home Show introducing us to Hyde, then a visit to Wildbridge that same day, the whole process of finding and reserving a home was incredibly smooth.”
Every Hyde home is built to the Hyde Difference standard, which includes:
- Contemporary kitchens with integrated appliances
- Quality flooring as standard
- Built-in wardrobes and ensuites at selected developments
- Private outdoor space
- Guidance from our experienced in-house sales team
