Thinking of Buying Alone? Holly’s Shared Ownership Journey Proves It’s Possible

When Holly decided to buy a home on her own, the challenge of affordability was overwhelming. Owning a property alone felt unrealistic, until she discovered Shared Ownership with Amplius, a solution that seemed possible. 

Holly admits she knew very little about Shared Ownership before starting her search. “It was just when I was looking at buying and getting into contact with James that I started to understand and know what was going on.” she explains. That conversation changed everything. 

Previously, Holly had owned a property with someone else, but taking the leap to buy alone felt daunting. Shared Ownership offered her the perfect way to stay on the property ladder without overstretching her budget. By purchasing a share and paying rent on the remainder, Holly could secure a home that suited her lifestyle and financial goals. 

Throughout the process, Holly was supported every step of the way by Lauren from Amplius. “She’s been my consistent contact from start to finish,” Holly says. “Any questions I had, she was always there, even out of hours. When complications arose with the solicitors, Lauren stepped in and pushed things forward.” That level of care and communication gave Holly confidence during what could have been a stressful experience. 

Today, Holly owns her home and couldn’t be happier. “Anyone looking at buying a Shared Ownership house, I’d definitely recommend Amplius. They were brilliant all the way through.” 

Why Shared Ownership Works 

Shared Ownership is ideal for first-time buyers or anyone seeking independence without compromising on quality. It’s a smart, affordable way to own a home and build security for the future.
