Points Cross, is set to launch 183 new, shared ownership homes in Leeds city centre, available to reserve from November 2025.
Built on Hunslet Road, beside Leeds Dock and within walking distance of Leeds Station and Crown Point Shopping Centre, Points Cross is offering a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes that are strategically located near travel connections and a host of amenities, including, bars, restaurants and activities.
Brought to market by Guinness Homes, the development offers shared ownership, a government funded scheme which offers a more affordable way to get onto the property ladder than buying on the open market, often only requiring a 5% deposit of the share value.
Luke Wilkinson, Sales Manager for Guinness Homes’ Points Cross development, said:
“Points Cross is a game changer, as shared ownership has never been offered on such a scale in the city before. It’s a well-established tenure in the South of England, which has helped thousands to buy a share in a home, so it’s a privilege for Guinness Homes to bring brand new, shared ownership homes to a city as busy as Leeds and with a saturated housing market.
“We believe no one should have to forgo their dream of getting on the property ladder, which is why Points Cross’ residents will be able to enjoy the convenience of city living without compromising on location, quality, space or affordability.”
With shared ownership properties, buyers can purchase a share of a home, typically between 25% and 75%, paying a mortgage on this portion, while subsidised rent is paid on the remaining share, along with a service charge. Many lenders offer products requiring just a 5% deposit, which helps to make the apartments financially accessible to more people.
Wilkinson, continued: “Points Cross presents an ideal opportunity to embrace a vibrant city lifestyle or continue enjoying the one you love, while taking that important first step onto the property ladder. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to explore Points Cross for themselves.”
Each apartment comes fully fitted with contemporary finishes, modern white goods, open plan living areas and a private terrace or balcony, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in a haven away from the bustling city at the end of the day. Prices to be released upon launch, with homes from a 30% share of ownership.
Points Cross will be hosting a virtual, educational workshop on 14 October 2025 at 12pm discussing how prospective homeowners can purchase their own home through shared ownership. The ‘Getting Leeds on the Ladder’ workshop will give all buyers all the tools they need with the Points Cross team on hand to answer any questions.
