The scheme

• This exciting new provision of low cost homes will give people, who would
not otherwise be able to afford an outright purchase, the opportunity to buy
a high quality home.

• The houses will be built by Norfolk Homes Ltd, to our usual high standard and
will be externally indistinguishable in style.

• The purchaser will pay 90% of the market value and receive 90% ownership
of the property. This will be by way of a standard shared ownership lease from
Broadland Housing Group (BHG) who will own the freehold.

• No monthly rent will be due on the 10% unsold equity owned by BHG

• The lease term will be 99 years with a nominal ground rent of £1 per annum
due to BHG. A service charge of about £60 per annum (initially) will be
payable to BHG for essential buildings insurance (except for plots 45, 50 and
51 - see below).

• All local low cost homes will be self managed i.e. residents will be responsible
for their own common areas. The extent of self-management is minimal and
does not warrant the appointment of a managing agent (although freeholders
could appoint one by mutual agreement). Full responsibilities are detailed in
leases and arrangements should be made with neighbouring leaseholders under
the same freehold. In addition, plots 45, 50 and 51 will arrange their own
buildings insurance with their co-freeholders.

• A summary sheet about the Shared Ownership Lease from BHG is available from our Sales Office on request.
