Kelham Riverside

Sales & Shared Equity

Sales continue to be positive and we’re delighted to say that we are outselling all other schemes in the city. In a competitive market this is great news and shows just how desirable the Kelham Island area has become. Our shared equity scheme is really attracting people and giving lots of first time buyers a realistic chance to own their own property. We even have some residents hat joined us on our hugely successful rent to buy and have transferred onto the shared equity scheme at the end of their tenancy to purchase their apartments. It’s a fantastic idea and one that we would encourage others to look into if they are currently renting and would like to buy. No other developer is offering a private scheme like this. Unlike other shared equity schemes, which are run by the government, this is different. The Raven Group invest its own money in the Kelham Riverside scheme showing long term commitment to the development and its future as a sustainable urban village.

Nick Gray took advantage of Kelham Riverside’s ‘Try before you buy’ rental deal to secure his new homes on the Island. Once his 12month rental was up he opted to sign up to the shared equity scheme, which meant he was able to buy his apartment and benefit from an interest free loan for 5 years, giving him a leg up onto the property ladder a lot sooner than he had thought possible.

Nick Said “I absolutely love living here and as soon as my rental contract expired I knew I wanted to stay but put down more permanent roots. Julie gave me great advice and was very helpful and the shared equity scheme just made perfect sense for me. I love the sense of community down here, people are so friendly and there are great bars and cafes opening all the time. Being able to buy in the way I have has made life so much easier. If you're a first time buyer looking to buy a top quality property in the most convenient location in town, then Kelham Riverside is the best option on the market!”
