The sales team at Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) are celebrating a sales achievement after handing over their 300th set of keys to their latest shared ownership customer.

SO Living sell PCH’s shared ownership homes across our developments, enabling customers to purchase a share of their home and pay rent on the remaining share.

Shared ownership is more affordable than buying on the open market as shared owners will only need a deposit for the share they’re purchasing. They can also purchase more shares and “staircase” to 100% home ownership.

The first shared ownership home was sold in the summer of 2012 at the first phase of re-development in North Prospect when the team consisted of only three members.

SO Living has since grown to eight members to support PCH’s expanding development programme across Plymouth and the surrounding areas in Devon and Cornwall, helping many first-time buyers, families and downsizers get their foot on the property ladder.

The 300th home was recently sold in Sherford to where a selection of 2-bedroom apartments were available for purchase.

Tracey White, Sales and Marketing Manager at PCH, said: “Reaching 300 shared ownership home sales for PCH, through the SO Living sales brand, is an amazing milestone. Since 2012, we have provided much needed affordable homes to the residents of Plymouth and the surrounding areas in Devon and Cornwall.

“The demand for shared ownership homes remains strong as an affordable and achievable route for many customers, helping make their dream of home ownership a reality.

“PCH cares about its residents and communities and SO Living is a recognisable brand that our customers trust. This achievement would not have been possible without the sales team which has grown over the years, providing excellent care and support to our customers.”

More shared ownership homes will be available soon in Woolwell, Callington, Pensilva and Saltash. Visit the SO Living website for more information.
