Early Bird Reservation
An early bird reservation allows you to secure your prime plot before the release of prices and date of entry.
Available on selected homes across selected developments, an Early Bird reservation is a great way for you to secure the home that you have your heart set on. Whether it offers ample space, a kitchen/diner of your dreams or you simply want the security of knowing that you are able to secure Shared Ownership at the development of your choice, reserving early can give you peace of mind.
How does it work?
Once you've chosen your home, our Sales Team will provide you with a guide price (please note, this is subject to change).
You'll be asked to complete an application form - this is a typical requirement of the Shared Ownership process, you can read through the full process here. Once we've received your application and you have passed the required affordability assessment, it's time to pay your reservation fee of £150.
When the time comes, we will contact you to let you know that your home is now for sale, and we'll provide you with the price of the home (this may differ slightly to the guide price). You will then have 3 working days to decide if you would like to continue the process of buying that home.
What happens next?
Once your home is available for sale, if you choose to proceed with buying the home, we'll convert your Early Bird reservation to a full reservation and you will be required to pay a further £100 to make up the full reservation fee of £250.
If you change your mind and decide you no longer wish to proceed, we'll refund you the full amount of your Early Bird reservation.
So if you've found a home you love, know that Shared Ownership is the right route for you and you're ready to secure the home of your dreams, look out for our Early Bird Scheme logo and make your mark on the development of your choice.
