Home hunters in Newark are being urged to act quickly to secure a five-star property, where deposits start from £4,600 through Shared Ownership.

Platform Home Ownership's popular development, named Lockview, is being delivered in partnership with renowned housebuilder Miller Homes and forms part of the wider Middlebeck community – a growing new neighbourhood benefiting from significant investment and improved transport links via the Southern Link Road, which connects the A1 at Balderton with the A46 at Farndon.

Two- and three-bedroom styles are available through this first phase, with information on further releases, including one- and four-bedroom homes, to be announced in due course.

Shared Ownership allows buyers to secure a share of their home, while paying rent on the remainder and enjoying the same rights and responsibilities as a traditional homeowner. Thereafter, residents can increase their owned share at a pace that suits them, all the way up to full ownership which eliminates rent completely.

One of the three-bedroom homes available from £118,000 for 40% share is The Lockton, which offers an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, young families and professionals to get onto the property ladder without the need to save for a large deposit.

The Lockton, which comes in terraced, detached and semi-detached configurations, offers a bright and spacious living room to the front, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, an open-plan kitchen and dining area provides ample surface space, with French doors leading out to a turfed garden. A downstairs WC adds extra convenience.

Upstairs, the home features a main bedroom with built-in storage, alongside two additional generously sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Selected homes also benefit from solar panels, helping to reduce energy costs, while all benefit from double-glazed windows, central heating, allocated parking, and a 10-year new homes warranty.

Debra Taylor, Sales Consultant at Platform Home Ownership, said: “The Lockton is a fantastic example of the quality and style available through Shared Ownership at Lockview.

“With its spacious layout, modern specification and energy-efficient features, it's ideal for buyers looking for a high-quality, affordable home in one of the East Midlands' most desirable new communities.

“We're pleased to be continuing our Shared Ownership offering for Newark, adding to our existing portfolio in Fernwood, where final homes remain, and our upcoming development on the site of the former Flowserve factory.”

Perfectly positioned at the southern tip of Newark, Lockview blends town and country living, with easy access to green spaces, local amenities, and direct train connections to Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester and London. The town's charming riverside setting and rich history make it a highly sought-after place to call home.

Newark's two train stations, including Northgate on the Edinburgh to King's Cross line, increase access to further locations such as both capitals, Newcastle, Peterborough and more. Residents also benefit from a high-quality purpose built primary school, Christ Church C of E, which Platform has supported in various charitable ways this year.
