Your questions answered

These are the questions that you’ve asked our sales team most frequently. Don’t forget to give us a bell if you need more information.

We have three types of tenancy at Crossings. You can either buy your home through Shared Ownership or Rent to Buy, or you can rent your apartment privately. The answers to these questions are a little different, depending on what tenure you’re interested in.

Again, if you’re not sure - call us on 0151 703 3703 or pop us over an email at crossings@redwing.co.uk.

Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership allows you to buy a bit and rent a bit. So, you buy a percentage of the home, and pay rent on the rest - a more flexible way to work towards owning your own home.

  • You can own the full 100% of your home – and you can staircase (buy more shares) as soon as you can afford to. There are no time limits.

  • A sinking fund is money that you put aside each year so that when the building needs something unexpected, like a repair to the roof, there is money available to fix the problem. It’s essentially a long term savings account that home owners put money into.

  • If you’re a leaseholder – i.e. you’re a Shared Owner - you’ll need to pay a service charge. The service charge covers a range of things, like:

    • Cleaning, maintaining and servicing of the shared spaces – like the foyer, garden room, stairwells, corridors.

    • Water hygiene monitoring

    • Testing the emergency lighting

    • Communal window cleaning

    • PV Panel cleaning on the roof

    • Communal electric and water costs

    • grounds maintenance

  • As a Shared Owner, you’re responsible for repairing everything inside your home – once Crossings is out the defects period.

    The defect period lasts until late March 2023 and during this time, we’ll fix any repairs.

  • Your rent can increase every April by the RPI (retail price index) plus 0.5%.

  • All of our Shared Ownership apartments at Crossings come with an oven, hob, extractor fan, and a fridge freezer.

Rent to Buy and private rent

Rent to Buy is a government backed initiative that allows eligible working people to rent a home at less than market rent while they save for a deposit to buy.

Private rent is renting at the market rate.

  • For private rent, your tenancy will be for either 6 or 12 months and then it will roll monthly.

    For Rent To buy, you’ll have a 5 year tenancy with the option to buy your home at the end.

  • No, they’re not. But, if you’re renting privately with us, your broadband will be included.

  • For Shared Ownership and rent to Buy, bring your own furniture.

    We’ve partnered with Loft Interiors Manchester to furnish our privately rented homes.

  • Renting privately with us? Then your deposit will be 4 weeks rent.

    Since Rent to Buy is a government backed scheme, there isn’t a deposit.

General

  • You can rent a parking space from us for £65pcm (subject to availability) - but remember that you’re only a 5 minute walk from the train station, bus station and Macclesfield town centre.

  • Don’t worry, Crossings has secure cycle storage by each block.

  • Royal Mail have access to Crossings – if you’re in you’re a Shared Owner or on the Rent to Buy scheme, there are postboxes in the main entrance to the building.

    Our privately rented apartments have their own letterboxes.

    There is also a locker for parcels just outside the building so you’ll never miss that Amazon delivery.

  • We love pets. We do have some rules though. Get in touch with us if you want to know more about our pet policy.

  • All the apartments have electric, no gas.
