Ashford has you covered on all fronts. 

Village Life for the London Commuter

While London is less than a 40 minute ride on the HS1 Connection, Ashford also offers village life and all its charm to feed the hungriest of souls here in the South East.

Shared ownership & part buy, part rent in Ashford explained

Otherwise know as part buy part rent, buying a Moat Shared Ownership home is a way that you are able to own a share of your new home yourself. You then pay rent to Moat on the remaining share, . For example, perhaps you are interested in a particular property and buy a 25% share in one of our new homes and pay subsidised rent to Moat on the remaining 75% (plus service charge). Using a method called "Staircasing" you are then given the choice to increase your ownership shares until you own the property in full.

How do I know a shared ownership property in Ashord is for me?

Home ownership is expensive and shared ownership has been designed with people who are not able to afford their first home to get onto the property ladder. In order to qualify you should not currently be a home owner and you should not have a total household income of less than £80,000. Our recommendation is that you have about £4,000 saved in order to cover the inevitable costs of home buying and the moving fees associated with this.
