SHARED OWNERSHIP - SEVEN HOMES COMPLETED DECEMBER 2025

 

 

The seven Shared Ownership homes at Glossop Close were handed over to Aster in December 2025.

 

The sales team at Aster are working steadily through the priority list of applicants registered via the e-forms. At the time of writing, it’s looking very likely that all the Shared Ownership homes will be allocated to buyers with local connections in the “priority 1” banding.

 

We are aware that some applicants have been unsuccessful in meeting the Homes England affordability criteria for Shared Ownership and we share their disappointment. It serves as a reminder that high property prices have an impact on Affordable Housing – the combined monthly mortgage cost and rent (despite being discounted) for Shared Ownership is sadly still beyond the reach of some.

 

 

 

It should not really be a surprise to hear continuing stories about people being forced away from Arundel by the overheated housing market and lack of truly Affordable Housing.  We at Arundel CLT are committed to doing more to add to the 27 opportunities that have been created at Arundel Gate.  

 

We encourage any and everyone in Arundel who wants to show their support for more truly affordable housing to join Arundel CLT if you are not already a member - click here for Membership Application Form.
