Hi Everyone,
Forgive me for asking for advice here, as I'm not a mum, but Mumsnet seems to be the only place where you can get (good) advice on shared ownership.
I'm 48, single, have a good job, work in HE, in Kensington & Chelsea.
How can I buy a shared ownership property (1 or 2 bedroom flat, in or near London)? I've had a few viewings, but was unsuccessful, although I'm a first time buyer, because:
- I don't have a family and I'm in my late 40s
- I don't work for NHS or Armed Forces
- I apply for properties in areas I don't work in (because there are no SO flats being built in K & C)
Will I ever be considered? Or shall I forget about buying a SO flat?
Please help!
