Praise for Severn Homes sales team as they help more than 50 households onto the property ladder 

Buying a home can feel daunting, especially for first-time buyers. But thanks to the dedication of Severn Homes’ sales team, more than 50 customers across Staffordshire and Shropshire have successfully taken their steps onto the property ladder this year. 

Gail, Luke and Tamsin are the friendly faces behind Severn Homes’ sales team. From your initial property search to the moment you receive your keys, they’re here to make the journey smooth, supportive, and stress-free. 

This Shared Ownership Week, we’re celebrating their incredible work and the life-changing impact they’ve had on so many customers.  

Many of the buyers supported by Sales Consultants Gail and Luke are first-time homeowners who believed owning a property was out of reach. Through Severn Homes’ shared ownership scheme they were able to purchase their home on a ‘part buy, part rent’ basis. 

Gail said “Shared ownership works by offering you a smaller upfront payment – making it easier for you to get on the property ladder. At Severn Homes, we typically sell shares of between 10-75%, with a discounted rent charged on the remaining share. 

“It’s always the highlight of my job to see our new homeowners get the keys to their dream home.  

“And it’s not just for first-time buyers. Earlier this year, I got to help married couple Gary and Karen who wanted the safety and security of owning their own home again. They are a perfect example of how shared ownership can change lives, and it’s lovely to hear that they are grateful for my support.” 

Gary and Karen aren’t the only happy customers! The team have received plenty of compliments from customers appreciating their support. 

A customer Luke helped in Baschurch said “Thank you so much for your help, you have been outstanding. We are busy organising the new house, do pop in for a coffee when you are up here next!” 

Gail has received similar praise, too, with one customer thanking her for really going the extra mile and another thanking her for her patience and expertise.
