Welcome to Brockworth, Gloucestershire

Brockworth is one of the larger villages in the Tewkesbury district and is home to around 9,500 residents. Around 15 minutes from both Gloucester and Cheltenham, Brockworth is a safe and exceptionally picturesque part of the country, offering a strong sense of community and a cosy village lifestyle. 

With a deep history of manufacturing excellence, Brockworth is most notably known for the production of several famous World War II aircraft, the Hawker Hurricane and Typhoon. In more recent times, it’s gained fame as being the home of the annual cheese rolling contest at Cooper’s Hill. 

Today, Brockworth is ideal for home buyers seeking a more relaxed pace of life. The village’s population has increased rapidly, yet still maintains a fantastic community spirit, encapsulated by a well-appointed Community Centre and local library, hosting a variety of educational and social events. It’s this environment, coupled with the low crime rate and exceptional schools nearby, that makes Brockworth one of the most popular places to live in the entire county. 

In terms of amenities, Brockworth is well-served by a broad range of independent businesses, which only adds to the thriving community atmosphere. If you’re looking to travel out of the village, exceptional transport links to nearby Gloucester and Cheltenham open up access to larger destinations such as the famous Quays Outlet, alongside the boutique shops in the city.

  • Love Local

    If there’s one word that sums up Brockworth, it’s community. Nothing does a better job of contributing to that community spirit than the various independent businesses that call Brockworth home.

    Whether you’re enjoying a bite to eat at local favourite Cafe Royal, stopping off for a drink at the Black Horse Inn, a cosy 17th-century Cotswald stone pub, or enjoying a Sunday roast at The Victoria Hotel, there is something for everyone.

    This is just a small sample of the independent business that makes up Brockworth and the surrounding area, but here at Platform, we feel it’s important to spotlight the people who keep the community spirit strong.

  • Primrose Vale Farm Shop

    A key example of this is Primrose Vale Farm Shop, which sits just minutes from the centre of Brockworth and proudly provides the local area with fresh fruit and produce throughout the year.

    A staple in the local area, Primrose Vale specialises in growing seasonal fruit and vegetables in their fields, providing everything from winter roots and asparagus to summer fruits.

    Regularly described as a ‘great day out’ by both local families and visitors, Primrose Vale is also home to a play area, an outdoor club for small children, and regularly hosts seasonal events such as Spring trails or Halloween walks, ensuring there’s always something for the little ones to enjoy.

Why Choose Shared Ownership in Gloucestershire?

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

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.
