shared ownership*
September 22nd, 2010 § Leave a Comment
the shared ownership programme in uk is an interesting one for those living in uk where the properties (and everything) are pricey to be able to afford an accommodation of their own. according to wikipedia, the usa and uk have such programme, but probably not other countries. i do not think thailand has that.
for example, a flat in salisbury, wiltshire, quite close to the centre costs gbp130,000 (thb6,500,000!!! – exchange rate of thb50:gbp1 at the time i’m writing this entry). the whole development project has 10 units of 2-bedroom apartments together as shown in the picture below. the floorplan shows four flats each on the first two storeys, and two more at the top. they call ground floor, first floor, and second floor.

like the construction with the brickwork and quite like the surrounding areas viewed from the street view on this site.
although salisbury has the stonehenge, i still think the city is small and i do not expect accommodations to be so pricey. anyway, can’t beat the prices in london, no doubt.
btw, and because of the floorplan, i was and probably is obsessed a little with fengshui yesterday and today.
