Flat 13 St Gabriels , Wantage

This is a large 2 bedroom apartment 5 minutes walk from Wantage Town Centre. The property boasts a large lounge/kitchen diner with south facing bay windows, a recently refurbished bathroom, storage and airing cupboards.

There is a shared building entrance with video intercom, and designated parking and visitor parking. There is also no onward chain.

As this property is a flat, please note that as a result of building safety regulations, some lenders are requiring certain properties to have a completed EWS1 form. An EWS1 (External Wall System) form provides independent assurance that your building meets the requirements of the Government’s latest standards.

Unfortunately, we have seen that some lenders may still wish to request this information even though it is not a legal requirement. Stonewater do not have an EWS1 in place for all buildings and should a mortgage lender require this, any purchase may be impacted. If an EWS1 is requested, whether one is required or not, Stonewater are committed to providing as much information as possible to satisfy a lenders request for an EWS1. We suggest you speak with a financial advisor before proceeding.

Please take note of the minimum income, £36,491 and minimum deposit £5250 for this property.

If you make a successful offer to the seller after your viewing, they will let us know and we will then be able to refer you for a financial assessment with an Independent Financial Advisor. This is compulsory for all Shared Ownership purchases and does not interfere with any mortgage arrangements you have already made. They will complete an assessment but you are not obliged to use them afterwards to arrange your mortgage, but can if you wish.

Please let us know if you need any further information and good luck with your viewing.

Please note, the majority of our shared ownership homes undergo a rent review in April 2024. The review will depend on the shared ownership lease, but the majority will see a 9.4% uplift to the rent. We will confirm the exact changes to the rent for this property as part of the sales process.
