The Whittington Family's Journey with Bromford Shared Ownership

Janine Whittington, a 45-year-old playgroup leader, recently shared her family's experience of downsizing and finding solace at Bromford's Twigworth Green development.

Following the sale of their house in Churchdown, Janine made the decision to move from her previous detached five-bedroom home to a more manageable space with her four children: George, Louie, Henry and Oliver.

The motivation behind this significant move stemmed from the recent cost of living crisis and the surge in energy bills, making it increasingly challenging for Janine to sustain the mortgage and bills for her previous home. A recent report from the Home Builder’s Federation shed light on the financial benefits of new-build homes, revealing that buyers save over £400 per household on energy bills. Despite being, on average, over seven percent larger than older properties, new builds offer valuable monthly savings.

Janine emphasized the necessity of downsizing to a new-build property without compromising the space needed for her family to thrive. After exploring numerous developments, Twigworth Green emerged as the ideal choice due to its excellent location, proximity to her children's schools, and a vibrant community atmosphere.

Sharing her positive experience with Bromford, Janine mentioned, "I heard really good things about Bromford from a friend who purchased a home from them in Prestbury. My experience has been seamless, and I would definitely recommend it to family and friends!" The option of Shared Ownership was a key advantage for the Whittington family, allowing them to enter the property ladder without the burden of a hefty deposit or a full mortgage.
