Kelly’s Story

For Kelly, the search for a place to truly call home led her to the heart of Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. After 18 months renting, the opportunity to own a share in a two-bedroom ground floor apartment at Mill View felt like a turning point. No longer just a tenant, she became a homeowner-her story reflecting the real difference Shared Ownership can make.

Ramsey is a town that quietly impresses. Surrounded by open Cambridgeshire countryside, it offers a peaceful pace of life, yet remains well-connected. The historic Great Whyte, lined with independent shops and cafés, gives the town its character. Nearby, nature reserves and green spaces invite residents to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. For Kelly, who works as a Digital Designer with the Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service, Ramsey’s location was ideal. The move to Mill View meant a shorter, easier commute-more time for herself, less time on the road.

“I’d heard of Shared Ownership before, but it wasn’t until I started searching on Rightmove that I found Mill View,” Kelly explains. The idea of stepping onto the property ladder, even if only for a share, was empowering. Homemade Homes by Accent made the process straightforward. Clear information, patient guidance, and a digital-first approach-from virtual tours to electronic forms-removed much of the stress she’d anticipated.

Mill View itself is a welcoming community. The development offers a choice of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, all nestled close to wide-open fields. Excellent transport links connect Ramsey with Huntingdon, Peterborough, and Cambridge, making it a practical choice for those who work across the region. Yet, it’s the sense of space and tranquillity that truly sets it apart.

Owning even a portion of her home has brought Kelly a sense of fulfilment she hadn’t expected. “Do it if you can,” she urges others who are thinking about buying. “Knowing that not all my money is going on rent, but that I actually own a percentage of my home-it’s incredibly rewarding.”

Shared Ownership has made what once felt impossible, possible. Lower deposit and mortgage requirements put homeownership within reach for many who might otherwise be priced out of the market. For Kelly, the leap has been worth it-her apartment at Mill View is more than just a place to live; it’s the foundation for a new chapter.
