A single mum who worked 50-hour weeks for over two and half years to save money for her own house has discovered she can no longer afford the property after a giant £37,000 price hike. Ellen Perry from Chester is an NHS worker who worked long hours to get onto the property ladder.
The house that she had her heart set on was a brand-new property with three bedrooms as part of a shared ownership scheme at a Saughall development. Ellen who lives with her teenage daughter couldn't wait to have a home to call their own.
Ellen said she paid a £500 deposit for the property in November 2021. She said she had agreed the price of £250,000 with Thompson Developments who are based in Flintshire.
