It allows you to buy a share in a property on a part buy/part rent basis and pay a subsidised rent on the part that you do not own. Over time, you can purchase more shares in your property - this is known as 'staircasing'. This can be done at any time after initial purchase and it will reduce the amount of rent you pay, as the share of the home that you do not own will have got smaller.<br/>We will offer shares between 10-75% of the property value depending on the outcome of the affordability assessment. The higher the share you purchase, the lower your rent will be. You will need to be able to obtain a mortgage for the share you want to purchase unless you have sufficient funds to enable you to purchase a share outright. Deposit amounts will be lower than purchasing a property on the open market also the combined cost of mortgage and rent is often cheaper than privately renting in the area.</p><p><strong>Local Area Information</strong></p><p><strong>Education</strong></p><strong>Primary Schools</strong><ul><li><strong>Lydney Church of England Community School</strong>: A primary school with strong community ties and a focus on both academic and personal development.</li><li><strong>Primrose Hill Church of England Primary Academy</strong>: Another well-regarded primary school in the area, offering a broad curriculum.</li></ul><strong>Secondary Schools</strong><ul><li><strong>The Dean Academy</strong>: The main secondary school serving Lydney and the surrounding areas.
