Hawthorne Farm

Hawthorne Farm offers a collection of new Shared Ownership homes in Clitheroe, a charming market town tucked in Lancashire's scenic Ribble Valley, just outside the Forest of Bowland AONB. Clitheroe is steeped in history – believed to date back to Saxon times, it also has a 12th century Norman Castle, said to be the smallest in Britain, which overlooks the charming town centre.

Situated on the northern edge of the town, Hawthorne Farm is just a short walk from many amenities. Along with everyday essentials such as supermarkets, pharmacies and banks, you'll find a number of great independent shops and eateries, including Cowman's Famous Sausage Shop, antique shops, and cafes. Clitheroe has also hosted a regular outdoor market since the Norman Conquest in the 12th century, which to this day is a popular fixture, offering an eclectic mix of amazing local food and clothing.

With all of this on your doorstep, along with a number of schools and great transport links by road and rail, it's easy to see why this is such a sought-after location.

^The house type has two different finishes – red brick as illustrated in the Computer Generated Image (CGI) and a red brick and partially rendered finish.

ELIGIBILITY

Shared Ownership gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new build or resales leasehold property. The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. The combined mortgage and rent is usually less than you’d expect to pay if you bought a similar property outright although this is not a guarantee.

At Hawthorne Farm you can buy a minimum 10% share of your home (the maximum you can buy initially is 75%). When you’re ready, you can buy more shares until you staircase to owning 100% of your home.

To be eligible for this shared ownership you would need to meet the following criteria:

• You must have a local connection to the local Authority Ribble Valley, either through residency, work or family
• Your annual household income does not exceed £80,000.
• You have a deposit of at least 5% of the share value
• You do not own another property or have your name on the deeds or a mortgage for a property worldwide.
• This will be your only residence.
• You are a permanent UK resident or have indefinite right to remain.

Please note the minimum share you can purchase can vary depending on your financial situation and you may be asked to purchase a larger share, should your personal circumstances permit.
