Description

Located in the popular residential area of Downhead Park, this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home is offered on a 50% shared ownership basis through Milton Keynes City Council, making it an ideal purchase for first-time buyers or those looking to step onto the property ladder.

The property is in good condition throughout and offers practical, well-proportioned accommodation. The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway, a spacious and comfortable living room, and a modern fitted kitchen providing ample storage and worktop space, ideal for everyday living.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two good-sized doubles and a further single bedroom which would also make an excellent home office or nursery. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation, all of which is clearly set out in the accompanying floor plan.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking, garden and superb home office/summerhouse with power and light, offering convenience and additional useable space. Fairford Crescent is well placed for access to local amenities, schools, green spaces, and transport links, with Milton Keynes city centre easily reachable.

The monthly shared ownership costs are £200, with a premium of £15,000 payable.

An open day will be held on Saturday 17th January between 12pm and 2pm, by appointment only.

Early viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
  • ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
