This page is intended to give prospective owners and investors an idea of what they could expect from Joint Equity ownership.
2004 - Mr N is a 23 year old working in the IT industry, earning just over £17K a year. He had been renting a flat for 2 years locally, and wanted to buy his own home to benefit from the high levels of property growth around Stansted airport.
He wanted to buy a 2 bedroom house with a garden at £149,950, but his salary would only permit a mortgage of £68,400. He had savings available of £10,000, which would leave him short of £71,550 and unable to buy his chosen home.

Not the actual property in the case study
Through the Joint Equity Scheme this shortfall is provided for by the Investor-Partner, with the effect that Mr N gets his chosen home!
The illustration below shows how Mr N and his Investor-Partner bought his home, and the costs, earnings and savings achieved by both.
See typical costs for full details of who pays what.
The purchase was made in March 2004 and the case study values the investment 1 year later in February 2005 and shows a 103% profit on the original investment in just 1 year.
