FAQ

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared ownership schemes are an affordable home ownership system that allows a qualified buyer a more easy way to climb the property ladder. The buyer takes out mortgages to purchase the shares and pays the rent on the remaining shares.

Do I Share the Property with Other People?

One of the big misconceptions about shared ownership is that you end up sharing your property with other people. In reality, the 'shared' element refers to the fact that you purchase a portion of the property, with the remainder owned by either a housing association or the local authority. This means that you only pay a mortgage on the portion that you own, and rent the remainder at below market rates.

As a result, shared ownership provides an opportunity for people who might not otherwise be able to afford their own home to get on the property ladder. While there are some restrictions on who can apply for shared ownership, such as maximum income levels, it is an increasingly popular option for first-time buyers.
