After hearing about shared ownership from friends and family, Kerry and Christopher realised it could be the perfect way to get on the property ladder without needing a large deposit. With Moat’s help and guidance throughout the process, they’ve now found their dream home and started an exciting new chapter together.
A new chapter with shared ownership
How did you first hear about shared ownership, and what attracted you to it?
I first heard about the shared ownership program through friends and family who both use the same scheme.
What made shared ownership the right choice for you, and how did it compare to other options you considered?
Shared ownership sounded like the best option for us as a couple with no large deposits needed & credit history that wasn't brilliant.
Can you walk us through your experience of buying with Moat? What went smoothly, and what challenges (if any) did you face?
Buying with moat was smooth, easy & great communication. Keeley was amazing & helped with so many questions, queries, and worries.
What was it like stepping into your new home for the first time? Can you describe the moment?
Stepping into our home for the first time after collecting the keys was a mix of emotions. Overwhelming, Happy & most of all excited for the next chapter to come.
What do you love most about your new home, and how has it changed your day-to-day life?
knowing we can make this house our home & learning to appreciate what we have and how hard we worked to get here.
What advice would you give to someone considering shared ownership, based on your own experience?
Don't panic, take each step day by day and you'll get there in the end.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
A massive thank you to Keeley who was there every step of the way.
