Exciting times for Miriam and Paul

Exciting times for Miriam and Paul

Miriam and Paul Lennard, with their little boy, moved in to their new home in Woolston on 2nd June 2008 after renting a 2 bedroom flat from Southampton City Council for the last 3 years. They thought that the possibility of Home Ownership was out of the question.

Miriam, who works as a sales assistant in Southampton, had been waiting on the HomesinHants register for a suitable property to come up. When the 2 bed flat became available she couldn’t believe their luck as it was in the exact area they were looking for. The home is a short distance from work, their family, and their 5 year old son’s school.

The value of the 2 bed flat is £119,000. Through the help of Swaythling Housing’s Newbuild Homebuy scheme they purchased a 50% share with a mortgage of £59,500. Their rent and service charge comes to £195.92 per month plus mortgage repayments of £325 per month, which is a fraction of what she would have to pay if she purchased a house outright on the open market.

Miriam and Paul are so pleased to have been given this opportunity and said “its been a very exciting time. So much has happened over the last few months. We’ve got married and purchased our first home together”.
