Discover your opportunity to own a brand-new home in Sunderland with 80 shared ownership homes available as part of an exciting wider development of 294 new homes. Designed for modern living, the scheme will offer a choice of high-quality 2, 3 and 4-bedroom houses, giving more buyers a flexible and affordable way to take their first step onto the property ladder or move into a home that suits their lifestyle.

Shared ownership offers a more accessible route to owning a home, allowing you to buy a share of your property and pay rent on the remaining share, with the option to buy more shares in the future if and when the time is right for you.

Whether you are looking for your first home, need more space for a growing household, or want to settle in a well-connected Sunderland neighbourhood, these new homes have been carefully planned to offer comfort and flexibility. With a brand-new property, you can enjoy a fresh, modern finish from day one, lower maintenance compared with an older home, and the reassurance of moving into a home designed around the way people live today.

Each home is built with comfort, convenience and everyday running costs in mind, with energy-efficient features that help make your home easier to manage from the day you move in. These features are designed to support a more efficient home and make everyday living simpler, including:

  • Air source heat pumps
  • Smart meters
  • Solar panels
  • Full-fill cavity wall insulation
  • Electric vehicle charging points

These thoughtful features are designed to support a warmer, more efficient home, helping you reduce energy use and manage household bills while enjoying the benefits of a brand-new property. From smart meters that help you keep track of your usage to solar panels and air source heat pumps that support lower-carbon living, the homes are designed to make modern home ownership feel simpler and more sustainable.

The development will also include attractive public open spaces, play areas and visitor parking, creating a well-planned place to live with space to relax, connect and enjoy everyday life close to home.
