Where is Surrey?

Surrey sits in Southern England – bordering the capital of Greater London as well as West and East Sussex, Kent, Hampshire and Berkshire. Surrey has a big population, making it the third most populated home county after Kent and Essex – so you’ll have plenty of friends to make in your new home.

 So, what is a ‘home county’? Well, put simply the home counties are those which surround the Greater London area. These counties are all perfect locations for those who commute to London and enjoy being close to the city without being in it.

Where to go in Surrey

Surrey has an array of spectacular wildlife parks and preservation areas which mean it boasts stunning natural beauty – and for those among us who are a little more fascinated by concrete rather than grass, look no further than the Surrey streets. Surrey has an impressive Roman history – of which can still be seen today in the architecture and in various museums. Perfect for the history buffs!

Should you wish to travel further afield it will come as no surprise to you that Surrey has excellent transport links (it wouldn’t have bagged its place on the commuter belt if not). It has excellent rail links into the city meaning commuting is quick and it’s also great for when you fancy a day out in the city. Not only that but Surrey sits in close proximity to both Gatwick and Heathrow Airport, so the world really is your oyster!

What to do in Surrey

Surrey is not all just natural beauty and history – it is also a great cultural county, with great music and art.

This may come as a surprise to some, but Surrey is famous for its contributions to both the folk and metal music scenes – both of which can still be seen across their various music venues today. If music isn’t really your thing, don’t fret, as Surrey also boasts a great amount of fun and eclectic pubs, bars and restaurants. Don’t want to miss this?

FAQ

  • What is shared ownership?

    Shared ownership is a government-backed scheme designed to help individuals who may not afford to buy a home outright on the open market. Under this scheme, you purchase a share of a property (typically between 25% and 75%) and pay a reduced rent on the remaining share. Over time, if you wish, you can buy more shares in your home, a process known as "staircasing", until you own 100% of it. This approach makes homeownership more accessible for many and serves as a stepping stone towards full homeownership.

  • How does Aster support the purchase process?

    At Aster, we're committed to making your shared ownership journey smooth and stress-free. From the moment you express interest in a shared ownership property:

    • Consultation: Our dedicated Sales Negotiators will discuss your needs and guide you through the available properties that match your criteria.
    • Financial Guidance: To ensure clarity on costs and other financial matters, we direct you to our trusted partner, TMP, who are specialists in shared ownership mortgages.
    • Viewings: For new builds, viewings are conducted once the home has been reserved or after it's been handed over. For re-sales, the vendor themselves will manage and conduct the viewings, ensuring a personalised experience.
    • Paperwork & Legalities: We offer assistance with the paperwork, guiding you through the application process, and liaising with solicitors to ensure the legal side is handled efficiently.
    • Post-purchase Support: Even after you've moved in, we have a post-sales team that will be able to assist with any queries or support you may need, ensuring your transition into your new home is seamless.
  • Are there any additional costs involved?

    Yes, as with any property purchase, there are additional costs to be aware of:

    • Deposit: This is a percentage of the cost of the share you're buying, not the total property value.
    • Mortgage Fees: Depending on your lender, there may be arrangement fees or valuation fees.
    • Solicitor's Fees: This covers the legal work associated with purchasing a home.
    • Stamp Duty: Depending on the property value and your circumstances, you might need to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax.
    • Home Insurance: You'll need to insure your new home, and there might be associated costs.
    • Service Charge & Maintenance: If the property has communal areas or services, you might need to pay a monthly service charge.

    It's essential to factor in these costs when budgeting for your shared ownership home. Our team at Aster is here to guide you through these expenses, ensuring there are no unexpected surprises.
