Diary entry one
Dear diary,
I’ve always wanted the security of having somewhere to call home and after renting for 19 years I really want to buy my own home.
Today I was offered a mortgage from my bank, but the maximum they could lend to me was too low for me to be able to buy a property outright in a suitable condition.
I heard about Shared Ownership through a couple of colleagues, who have both bought their properties through the scheme, and it sounds like that is going to be the best choice for me.
It’s something I’m going to investigate further.
