Shared ownership in the UK is a part-buy, part-rent scheme that aims to help people who can't afford to buy a home outright to get onto the property ladder. It's a process typically managed by housing associations and is designed for first-time buyers, people who used to own a home but can't afford to buy one now, or existing shared owners looking to move.
