AFFORDABLE WAYS TO BUY: 

At Goldfinch Point, we’re proud to offer affordable ways to buy with Older Persons Shared Ownership (OPSO); a flexible government-backed scheme designed to make later living more accessible. 

How it works: 

You can purchase a share of your chosen home (between 10% and 75% of its value), funded through savings, pension withdrawals, or equity from the sale of your current home. 
You’ll pay rent on the remaining share, set at 2.75%. 
If you purchase the maximum share of 75%, no rent is payable. 
A monthly service charge also applies, covering upkeep, communal amenities, and services. 

Key benefits of Shared Ownership: 
Lower upfront costs compared to buying outright

The ability to right-size to a home designed for your needs 
Security of tenure – you are the legal homeowner
