Getting your first foot onto the property ladder is never easy, so apartments and houses at the compass|SO14 are available on a part buy / part rent basis. It works like this: if you are a local person, you can initially buy a 25 – 75% share and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. This can work out cheaper than buying outright and sometimes not much more than renting. You can buy further shares until you own 100%.
