Description
Right on the edge of Swaffham, at the point where town life gives way to the open fields of the countryside, the beautiful new collection of homes at Buttercross Place offers a great place to put down roots at an affordable price. Swaffham itself is one of Norfolk’s most famous and attractive towns with a history that goes back to the Middle Ages. The market square is surrounded by elegant Georgian buildings and features the striking Butter Cross dome with a statue of the Greek Goddess of grain sitting on top. Swaffham hosts a popular market where you can find everything from fresh fish, vegetables and poultry to trinkets, antiques and household goods. There’s also a great choice of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs.
Legal & General Affordable Homes is offering a unique opportunity to live at Broadland Fields through Shared Ownership. Thanks to this scheme, you can get on the property ladder with a lower deposit than is required to buy outright or with other buying schemes.

What is Shared Ownership?
If you can't afford the mortgage or deposit on 100% of a home, Shared Ownership offers you the chance to buy a share of your home (between 25% and 50%) and pay rent on the remaining share. Later on, you could buy bigger shares when you can afford to and, if you chose, own the property outright. Monthly costs to purchase via Shared Ownership are generally less than purchasing outright or renting, making it a fantastic option to get onto the housing ladder.
