THINK you can’t afford a new home in Tetbury? Well think again as Merlin are now inviting expressions of interest in their stunning new shared ownership homes being built in the town.

The first of the stylish, energy efficient two and three bedroom homes are being made available to reserve off-plan next month. And as they are shared ownership you’ll only need a five per cent deposit to make your dream of owning your own home in the heart of the Cotswolds a reality.

With its unique charm and character Tetbury is famed for its independent traders including the Highgrove shop selling produce from the royal estate. And with excellent transport links to Bristol, Bath, Cirencester and Cheltenham it’s an ideal and idyllic place to call home.

Shared ownership offers a fantastic opportunity to buy your first home. With a deposit of just five per cent needed, Merlin are selling these amazing homes with prices starting from just £102,000 for a 40 per cent share. Your mortgage and deposit will cover the share you purchase and you pay rent on the share you don’t own. Over time you can buy more shares in the home until you own it outright if you wish.

And if you already live or work in Tetbury then you’re in luck, as Merlin will be giving priority to applicants with a local connection to the town.

Sales & Home Ownership Officer Sami Dore said: “We’re delighted to be bringing these luxury shared ownership homes to Tetbury. The homes are in a fantastic location just a short walk from all the shops and facilities in the town centre and the primary and secondary school. It’s a wonderful mix of rural living with great access to the vibrant nearby towns and cities.

“We’re expecting lots of demand in these homes so if you interested in them, we’d encourage you to register your interest with us as soon as possible.”
