Buy your independent living apartment
What is shared ownership?
The option to purchase a proportion of an apartment is being made available via a shared ownership scheme. This enables shared owners to be part of the All Saints View community and the benefits the building provides. Once assessed by an independent financial advisor, customers may be eligible for 25% to 75% ownership, with no rent payable above 75% ownership.
