A fresh start for Sofia with Shared Ownership at Calthorpe Gardens
Buying a new home can be a stressful process, but at Orbit Homes our customers can rest assured that they will receive support right from the start.
Meet Sofia, who was looking for a new home for her family following a divorce. Working part time, she chose Shared Ownership as a route for getting back onto the property ladder:
“If it wasn’t for Shared Ownership, I could not have bought a new home outright as my borrowing capacity wasn’t high enough.”
Our Calthorpe Gardens development in Banbury appealed to Sofia as it was only a short distance from where she was living and once she had met Denise, our Sales Consultant and taken a look at the homes on offer, her mind was made up: “Denise is the kindest and most supportive person I have met. I loved the standard of the homes being built, and as they are fitted with solar panels, EV charging points and great insulation they are all so eco-friendly and economic.”
She chose The Poplar, a detached 3-bedroom house with a garage: “It has a park right by the house and fields all around; it was very important for me to have an element of nature around me.”
Sofia told us about her home buying journey once she had reserved her new home: “It was smooth and easy beyond my expectations. I’ve not dealt with anything like this before; I’m not from England and have no family around me and I wasn’t sure if I could make it happen without challenges, but again Denise helped me through every step of the process and made me feel very supported and loved.”
Now that Sofia and her two sons have moved into their new home, they couldn’t be happier: “The house feels very cosy and luminous and the overall energy of the house feels clean, happy and safe.”
“The energy efficiency of my new home is one of the things I love most, it is beyond my expectations, and I am very pleased!”
Friends that have visited are also impressed: “Everyone is amazed about the high standard of the build and the interior finishing.”
“It is the most joyful and happy time I’ve had in almost 15 years, and I am grateful every day that I had the opportunity to buy this house with Shared Ownership. It was the best decision I have ever made.”
We are currently building the next phase of homes at Calthorpe Gardens, offering a selection of 2 and 3-bedroom houses exclusively for sale with Shared Ownership. Situated on the outskirts of the charming historic market town of Banbury in Oxfordshire, this popular development benefits from excellent transport connections, a wide range of schools, retail outlets, and health & leisure amenities close by.
