SHARED OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITYREGISTER NOW*

A brand new one bedroom apartment located in the heart of Newport City Centre. With superb views across the city, an apartment in Olympia places you at the heart of the action while also offering you a modern, comfortable retreat away from all the hustle and bustle. If you commute by bus or train, your journey back from work couldn’t be easier – you’re just a short walk from the bus and train stations.

A landmark building since it was built in the 1960s, Olympia was home to the Passport Office until 2013 and now hosts a food store on its ground floor, as well as a new Café Quarter – so all you need to do is pop downstairs to enjoy a break and a treat.

The upper floors have been re-imagined to offer a selection of one and two bedroom apartments, each with fully-fitted kitchens and stylish, contemporary bathroom suites. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible to settle into your new home, so we’ve provided high quality kitchen appliances and fitted all the little extras that make a difference, such as heated towel rails, an entryphone system, a satellite TV point and internet cabling. An overview of the development can be viewed at the Olympia House website https://olympia-house.co.uk .

An ideal choice for anyone wanting to enjoy the best that Newport has to offer, Olympia is a unique development in a building that forms part of Newport’s history.

Shared Ownership 
Shared ownership is our most flexible purchase option; you can choose how much of a property you buy and buy more if you want to as and when it’s convenient for you. We can offer a share of between 50-70% of a property and pay a rent on the part that you don’t own.
The higher the share you purchase, the less rent you will have to pay. Over time you have the option to increase your share of the amount of the property you own if you can afford to do so. Shared ownership is one option for purchasing your own property and we’re committed to helping people to achieve their aspiration to purchase their own home.
