Discover Clipstone, Nottinghamshire

Clipstone is a village just outside of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, home to around 6,000 people and a rich mining heritage stretching back hundreds of years.

Today, Clipstone is becoming incredibly popular with homebuyers thanks to its affordability, quality of life and proximity to Mansfield, itself one of the fastest growing destinations in the UK.

The village itself is home to everything you’d expect: fantastic local amenities, a friendly community and some of the most beautiful countryside in the area. After the colliery closed in 2003, what used to be some of the largest headstocks in Europe is now an event hub, attracting big gatherings at events throughout the year.

Over the last ten years, Clipstone has expanded rapidly thanks to investment from both local government and developers, creating a thriving new destination.

While Clipstone has everyday amenities including a convenience store, good schools, coffee shops and green spaces, what really makes the village popular is its proximity to Mansfield, which is just 15 minutes away.

Mansfield has a huge range of amenities for a town of its size - whether you’re looking for high-street shopping, vibrant nightlife, a few drinks at a cosy pub or something to do on the weekend. New bars, clubs and restaurants sit at the heart of the town while stunning countryside can be found in every direction. The area is steeped in history and linked to local legends, most notably Robin Hood.

Local Area Information

Clipstone has two schools in the immediate vicinity, Samuel Barlow Primary Academy and The Garibaldi Secondary School, both of which are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

Looking further afield, there is a huge range of schools in and around the Mansfield area, two of which are rated ‘Outstanding’.

Clipstone is the quintessential village, offering everyday essentials including a pharmacy, a school, a village hall, several green spaces with play areas or sports facilities, pubs, takeaways, a medical centre and several convenience stores.

Surrounded on all sides by beautiful countryside, Clipstone is popular for its outdoor pursuits, whether you’re teeing off at Sherwood Forest Golf Club, enjoying the walking or cycling trails around Sherwood Pines or visiting Centre Parcs.

If you’re travelling into Mansfield, you’ll find a huge range of restaurants, bars, clubs and pubs, as well as entertainment for the whole family. Mansfield Museum offers a glimpse into the region’s history, whilst elsewhere you’ll find bowling, a cinema, softplay venues, leisure centres and play areas.

Discover Life in Nottinghamshire

If you’re considering shared ownership houses for sale in Nottinghamshire, you may want to know if Nottinghamshire is a good place to live.

Nottinghamshire is a county recognised for its blend of vibrant cities, stunning countryside, accessible property market, rich industrial heritage and strong educational sector, backed by several top universities.

The county is relatively safe compared to the national average, particularly in the various market towns and villages throughout the region.

Much like its neighbour, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire is incredibly well-connected with plenty of access to other major UK destinations thanks to exceptional public transport links and road network.

While the main city of Nottingham is an obvious draw, particularly for professionals seeking high-level roles, several major towns including Mansfield, Newark and Beeston are fast becoming popular destinations with homebuyers thanks to the quality of life they’re able to provide.

Why Choose Shared Ownership in Nottinghamshire?

Shared Ownership is ideal if you’re unable to buy a home on the open market - it provides the opportunity to buy a share in a property on a part buy/part rent basis, meaning you pay a subsidised rent on the part you don’t own.

Over time, you can then buy more shares in the property via a process known as staircasing. This can be done at any time, meaning you have complete flexibility over your own home ownership.

With Shared Ownership, deposit amounts are typically lower than purchasing a property on the open market and the combined cost of mortgage payments - plus subsidised rent - is often cheaper than privately renting in the area.

Am I eligible?

Shared Ownership uses the following criteria to help people get a foot on the housing ladder:- Maximum annual household income of £80,000

One of the following statements must also be true:

You’re a first-time buyer
You used to own a home but can’t afford to buy now
You’re forming a new household - typically after a relationship breakdown
You’re already part of the Shared Ownership scheme but want to move
You own a home and want to move but can’t afford the new home that meets your needs

Homes at this development are available on the New Shared Ownership Model.
You can purchase between 10% and 75% of the property's full market value. Each home benefits from a 10 year repair period for essential repairs.
You are able to buy more of your home through the Staircasing process, where you can purchase shares in increments of 5%. There is also the option of the 1% Gradual Staircasing Model enabling you to purchase smaller shares each year.

Frequently asked questions

Most buyers who can’t afford to buy a home outright can apply to buy through shared ownership.

We may also be able to help if you need to move because of a relationship breakdown or if your work requires you to live in an area outside your price range.

In order to buy through the Shared Ownership scheme, you must be able to demonstrate that you can afford and sustain home ownership. If you proceed with Shared Ownership you will be required to undertake an affordability assessment.

You must meet our adverse credit policy, if you have a history of adverse credit you are unlikely to be accepted depending on individual circumstances.

Shared owners still have to pay many of the usual costs involved in buying a home.

Reservation fee

We will ask you for a £250 deposit to reserve your chosen home. When the sale goes through we put this towards your purchase payments. However, we cannot refund it if the sale does not go through.

Mortgage deposit and fees

Most mortgage lenders will ask for a 5% or 10% deposit towards the price of the share you want to buy. They are also likely to charge a valuation fee and administration fees.

Legal fees

Solicitors’ charges can vary so it is best to get a few estimates. You will also have to pay Land Registry and local search fees, and may have to pay stamp duty depending on the value of the property.

After you've moved in

You also need to budget for the ongoing costs of owning a home.

Mortgage repayments

You will have to make monthly mortgage repayments to your lender. Depending upon the type of mortgage you have, these repayments may vary as interest rates change.

Rent

You pay a subsidised monthly rent to us on the share of your home which we own. The amount is reviewed on the 1st April each year.

Service charges

You will have to pay a small charge if your home has any facilities or communal areas which we maintain, such as shared entrance halls, lighting and grounds. Your service charge will also include your buildings insurance and your management fee.

Household bills

These include your council tax and utility bills for water, gas and electricity.

Repairs

We will arrange for any defects on new-build homes to be repaired during a set time period. After that time has elapsed, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for all repairs to your home.

Home contents insurance

We provide buildings insurance with the cost of your service charge but this does not cover your belongings. We strongly recommend you arrange your own home contents insurance.

Much will depend on your other financial commitments and what property/share you want to buy. We don't want you to be overstretched, so we need to be sure that you can afford to pay your mortgage and rent. We look at each application individually and will advise you on your options.

Shared ownership schemes are backed by government funding to help people on smaller incomes. So you will not qualify for most shared ownership schemes if your household income is less than £10,000 or more than £80,000 a year.

On the property listings for some of our shared ownership homes, you will see that we state a local connection to the area is required.

This generally applies in rural areas and small villages where land has been made available specifically for affordable housing to meet the needs of local people, rather than for private development.

These are known as ‘rural exception sites’ or 'protected areas' and are controlled by ‘Section 106 Agreements’. They aim to help local people and families afford homes in the area where they grew up.

The local connection criteria can vary between different developments, but is usually based on the following:

applicant was born in the area and has lived there for a number of years

applicant has permanently lived in the area for a number of years

applicant used to live in the area for a number of years but had to move away because of the lack of affordable housing

applicant has been permanently employed in the area for a number of years

The number of years is usually between 2 and 5, although this differs by local authority

Usually priority is given to applicants with a local connection to the parish. If there are still properties remaining, allocation will be opened up to surrounding parishes and then to the whole of the local authority area. This ensures that the homes are occupied by residents as local to the area as possible.

If you want to find out more about the local connection criteria for a particular development, or check if you qualify, please email sales@platformhg.com

Yes you can, once you have moved into your Shared Ownership property, providing you can afford it, you are able to buy more of your home through the process of Staircasing.
