As I was not on the local list, I had to wait awhile before finding my property. In saying that I had been offered several properties before finding one that had the wow factor for me and the area that I liked. They offered a 1 bed ground floor for 195,000 and a two bed duplex for 208,000 / 3 bed duplex 219,000. As the loan amount is 185,000 you have to come up with the balance yourself or else opt for the shared ownership scheme. I opted for the mortgage however I was quite shocked when I saw the amount repayment -especially since these properties are affordable housing and the fact that I placed a large deposit on same.
I am hoping to snag the property soon so fingers crossed.
I hope this answers your questions & your offered somewhere soon.
