How Jo moved from cramped to comfortable with shared ownership

Jo wanted more space and more freedom at home. Living in a compact one-bedroom apartment, she wanted a home with an extra bedroom and a garden, a sanctuary where she could unwind and truly enjoy life. At first, that dream felt out of reach. But thanks to Shared Ownership with Amplius, Jo discovered an affordable way to make it happen. 

“I wanted more space, a second bedroom and a garden but I didn’t think I could afford it,” Jo shares. That’s where Shared Ownership changed everything. By purchasing a share of the property and paying rent on the remainder, Jo unlocked the door to a two-bedroom home that ticked all her boxes. 

Working in an estate agency, Jo knows how stressful buying a home can be. But her experience with Amplius was refreshingly different. “Lauren was amazing,” Jo recalls. “Whenever I had paperwork or questions, I could call her and she’d explain everything. She always responded straight away.” That level of support gave Jo confidence at every stage. 

The process moved quickly, and soon Jo had the keys to her new home. “I haven’t enjoyed the garden yet, but come spring, I will,” she smiles. For Jo, Shared Ownership wasn’t just about affordability it was about unlocking a lifestyle upgrade that once felt impossible. “If anyone is looking for a Shared Ownership property, I’d certainly recommend Amplius.” 

Why Shared Ownership works 

Shared Ownership is perfect for first-time buyers or anyone looking to move without overstretching their budget. It offers flexibility, affordability, and the chance to own a home you love.
