We first started looking for houses online. I had a certain amount of inheritance from my late husband, but I couldn’t afford to buy a home outright due to lack of funds. That’s when I came across shared ownership — and Moat seemed like a really good option.
Buying with Moat was very good for me. I was helped through the whole process from start to finish by Keeley in the sales team. Nothing was too much trouble — she would always reply the same day, which made everything feel so much easier and less stressful.
The first time we stepped into our new home, we were blown away. We hadn’t viewed the houses before moving in, and I was absolutely gobsmacked. The kitchen is so spacious, the carpets and flooring are exceptional, and the finish to the whole house is outstanding.
We love everything about our new home. The neighbours are amazing — we all help each other out when we can. One of our neighbours moved in recently, and we lent them our lawnmower and strimmer. It felt good to support someone new.
The advice I would give to anybody considering shared ownership is: do it. You won’t regret it. The help and process you receive is exceptional.
Shared ownership isn’t just for first-time buyers. Whether you're downsizing, starting over, or buying with savings or inheritance, Moat can help you find an affordable, high-quality home that suits your next chapter.
