LOCAL AREA
Norwich is a beautiful city to have as a next-door neighbour with its cobbled streets and open spaces, impressive Norman cathedral and imposing castle. There are intriguing boutiques and large shopping malls, a wide choice of restaurants, bars and clubs together with live theatre and a thriving arts scene. Head away from town and you'll soon reach the Norfolk Broads National Park.
This unique area of waterways, windmills and wildlife is the perfect place to spend a lazy summer's day. Whether boating, walking, cycling or seeking a glimpse of the local flora and fauna, you'll never be short of new things to explore.
East Anglia is full of great days out for all the family. There are heritage railways and royal palaces, magnificent views and ancient forests. You'll have every type of seaside you could wish for - from the bright lights of Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile to the crab restaurants of Cromer and the quiet beaches in between where you can walk for miles and see more seals than humans.
Norwich also has an international airport, with flights to destinations across Europe. Yet, with the Norfolk Broads so close by, perhaps the perfect mode of travel is by boat, quietly cruising the waterways and looking for a glimpse of a water vole among the reeds.
WHAT IS SHARED OWNERSHIP?
If you can't afford the mortgage on 100% of a home, Shared Ownership offers you the chance to buy a share of your home (between 25% and 75%) 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.
Legal & General Affordable Homes are a Registered Provider offering these apartments for sale on a Shared Ownership basis. We are creating communities to live, grow and flourish and are committed to removing the stress and anxiety associated with moving house, whilst delivering customer satisfaction and quality new homes.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
