Developed by Grainger plc with contributions from housebuilders including Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes, Bellway, and Cala Homes, the development has brought thousands of new homes to Aldershot. Properties in Wellesley typically have specific estate charges and lease terms that our surveyors account for in valuations.

Shared ownership allows you to purchase a share of a property (typically between 25% and 75%) while paying rent on the remaining share owned by a housing association. In the GU11 area, this has been particularly popular in the Wellesley development where many properties were allocated to shared ownership as part of the planning requirements for the urban extension. As a leaseholder, you have the right to staircase (purchase additional shares) up to 100% ownership, subject to the terms of your lease. Our valuation service helps you understand the true value of your share and the cost implications of staircasing.
