From renting to roots at Orbit Homes at Woodland Valley

We love nothing better than handing our customers the keys to their new home on moving-in day and Ria, who has recently moved into her new home at Orbit Homes at Woodland Valley was happy to share her home buying journey with us.

Buying with Shared Ownership gave her the means to get onto the property ladder: “I was desperate to get out of private renting. The house I was living in was unkempt and dirty and I was paying an extortionate amount of rent each month. I knew I wouldn’t be eligible for a full mortgage, so Shared Ownership was a great option.”

“A new build appealed to me because it was a fresh start for me and my daughter, and I loved that it was a blank canvas that was ours to make our mark on.”

She had friends who had bought new homes at Woodland Valley and had a positive experience, and she had heard good things about Orbit in the past, so she decided to book a viewing.

“From the moment I booked the viewing I felt at ease. Jayne in the sales office was amazing. The Bucknell was the first 2-bedroom house I viewed and from the moment I walked in I knew I wanted it to be mine. The open plan, airy layout was what I had dreamt about and the patio doors onto the garden absolutely sold it to me.”

“Everyone I dealt with was exceptional, from the mortgage advisor to the solicitors. However, Jayne and Denise in the sales team were incredible. They were professional and prompt, but I also felt really valued. This was a huge deal for me as it was my first time purchasing a property, and they were completely invested in my journey.  Their excitement and enthusiasm matched mine, and it truly felt like they were as happy as I was. The gifts that were left when I moved in was icing on the cake. They remembered small things that I had mentioned like my favourite flowers and my dog’s name.”

“I love everything about our home. I love how close Woodland Valley is to parks and open spaces for our dogs, and we are so genuinely happy here. I finally have a home where I feel confident to have friends over to visit, which I would never have done before.”

We asked Ria what she thought the benefits of buying with Shared Ownership were: “Having a fresh new home, affordable rent, and feeling secure in a home that is ours.”
