What I Own: My £210,000 Birmingham apartment is a shared ownership bargain Welcome back to What I Own – Metro’s property series where we speak to homeowners about getting on the ladder.
This week, we’re in Birmingham visiting Michael Swords, who bought his one-bedroom flat through shared ownership in 2024.
My property is in Belgrave Village, in the B12 area of Birmingham city centre.
Michael has saved countless pennies by opting to part-own through the scheme, which allows buyers to purchase a percentage of the property with a reduced deposit.
I am 37 years old, working as a property lister for Connells Estate Agents in Birmingham.
