We are pleased to bring to the market this 1 bedroom Flat Shared Ownership Properties. It is situated in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire and is available now.

12 Cooks Way, Biggleswade

This is a lovely spacious 1bedroom flat that has recently been decorated. There is private off road parking for 1 car and the property is situated close to the town centre and within a 10 minute walk from the train station.

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.

Further information about EWS1 and Stonewater’s position can be found at https://stonewaterhomes.co.uk/government-guidance-changes-for-EWS1

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. You will also be required to complete a Stonewater application form. Further information on the financial assessment and application form will be provided.

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.
