A single mum has been left devastated after being priced out of buying her dream home. NHS worker Ellen Perry from Chester wanted to provide a home of her own for her and her teenage daughter to live in, and had her heart set on buying a new three-bed property through a shared ownership scheme.
Ellen said she had agreed a price of £250,000 with Flintshire-based Thompson Developments and had paid a £500 deposit on the house back in November 2021. Ellen also says she had been given a completion date of the end of March 2022.
Despite working 50 hours per week for the past two and a half years in a bid to get a foot on the property ladder, the mum-of-one says she can no longer afford her dream home after the price has now gone up by £37,000.
