Brenton’s story

When Brenton faced unexpected personal challenges, he knew he needed to sell his Shared Ownership home—and he needed to do it quickly. What could have been a long and stressful process became a surprisingly smooth journey, thanks to the right support and a clear plan.

His first call was to Homemade Homes, his housing association. Although he wasn’t sure what to expect, their guidance quickly put him at ease. They provided step-by-step instructions, explained the process clearly, and even recommended solicitors who specialised in Shared Ownership sales—helping Brenton feel confident from the start.

The next step was arranging a property valuation. Homemade Homes made the marketing process simple and stress-free, advising on how to present the home in the best possible light. Their expertise meant the listing reached the right buyers quickly, and viewings were arranged almost immediately.

Then came the moment Brenton had been hoping for: within just nine days, an offer came through. The speed of the sale far exceeded his expectations and brought a huge sense of relief in what had been a difficult time.

The legal process, often the trickiest stage of a property sale, was made straightforward by the solicitors recommended by Homemade Homes. Their knowledge of Shared Ownership meant every detail was handled efficiently, streamlining the conveyancing and keeping things moving forward without unnecessary delays.

Looking back, Brenton’s advice to others is simple: “Go for it—because it’s only going to get harder as time goes on. People aren’t earning enough to afford a standard house anymore.”

For Brenton, selling his Shared Ownership home was not only quicker than expected—it was also far less stressful than he imagined. With the right help, he discovered that even in challenging circumstances, it’s possible to achieve a positive outcome in record time.

His story shows that by seeking support early, trusting the experts, and staying focused, selling a Shared Ownership home can be a smooth, clear, and ultimately successful experience.
