Properties at Nicholas Court are only available to purchase under an affordable home ownership initiative. The initiative is designed to assist those seeking affordable and manageable home ownership who could not afford home ownership in that area otherwise. Under the scheme you only pay 70% of the value of the property. Owners do not pay any rent to Home Group for the percentage not purchased. You will however be liable for a service charge as detailed in the listing below. The 30% share not purchased is a 'payment discount' which is locked into the property.
