Shared ownership schemes

[spike's]

Afternoon all,

just after a bit of advice really.
to cut it short, basically the gf and me are thinking of buying a place, but probably cant afford a whole place ( if that makes sense ).
she's got a transfer at work to salisbury ( from newbury, had no choice if she wanted to be management. and will be driving over 500miles a week because of it.) i work in basingstoke. so it makes sense to be looking andover direction.

now can anyone give us any pointers of how it all works etc. have done a bit of reading but it all looks a bit complicated.

many thanks for any advice.

Andover .... ick!

I'd suggest one of the villages around Andover instead although you may find the sort of schemes you want around them ...

the ones were looking at arnt in a bad area. the idea is that we can get rid of 1 of the cars and either of us can use the train.

I wouldn't bother with shared ownership. Can't you afford a cheap 1/2 bed flat in need of decorating?

nope, not a chance arround here.
