SIXTEEN new shared-ownership homes are being launched at Riverside View, Lancaster, by affordable dwellings provider Plumlife.

The government-backed scheme means the buyer purchases a share of the house and pays a small rent on the remainder until they can take further shares to own it outright.

Riverside View is just off junction 34 of the M6 motorway. Prices start at £50,750 for the two-bed Evesham, based on a 35 per cent share and £2,538 deposit (monthly rent £216). For more, call 0161-4475050.
