Merlin House

Merlin House is an excellent example of some of the properties available as Shared Ownership Resales. Located in Suffolk with parking, good environmental impact ratings, close to Stowmarket Railway Station. Properties like Merlin House are a great way to get on the property ladder. We sat down with the new owner of one of the bright, modern flats within it to discuss his shared ownership journey. 

Q: How did you find the process of buying and how long did it take?

A: I found the process easy from start to finish, from viewing to buying the property. It took 3 months from viewing to moving in.

Q: How long were you looking for a property?

A: I had been looking for only a month before I found this property.

Q: How many Resales or new-build shared ownership properties did you look at?

A: I looked at a total of 3 resale properties.

Q: Did you choose a resale over a new build for a reason?

A: I found it easier to find the property style I wanted as a resale rather than a new build.

Q: Where were you living before buying?

A: I was living back with my parents at that point.

Q: How have you found living in the property and shared ownership?

A: I’ve found living in this property brilliant! It’s affordable and I own some of it so not all of my money is going on just rent. It is so much cheaper than renting a similar property in the area and I have no worries as I part own it.

Q: What would you say to anyone thinking of buying a resale?

A: I would say definitely look into it and I highly recommend it the whole experience was easy. You’re not having to wait for the place to be built which is a bonus and there is plenty of choice of resales out there.
