Why is the asking price of this apartment so low?

When the St George Building was constructed a small proportion of apartments were reserved for Yorkshire Housing, who in turn offered them for sale on an affordable home ownership scheme.

This apartment is 1 of just 3 x 1 bedroomed apartments in the Building, for sale under Discount Home Ownership.

Under this scheme, you buy the property at 75% of its market value. In the future you must also sell it on for 75% of its market value. Therefore the property remains discounted throughout its life.

You will own 100% of the property; therefore there is no rent to pay on the remaining 25%, making this a truly affordable home.

Who can buy this apartment?

If you want to make an offer on the apartment, Yorkshire Housing will assess your eligibility via an application form.

Generally speaking the usual conditions are that you must;
Live or work or have family in the immediate area
Have an annual income of less than £40k, and a deposit of no more than 15%
