What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership offers a more accessible route to homeownership by allowing you to purchase a share of a property's value, while paying a subsidised rent on the remaining share.

The share purchase price is based on the full market value of the property, and your rent is calculated on the remaining share owned by the landlord.

Over time, you may choose to buy additional shares in your home through a process known as staircasing, potentially increasing your ownership up to 100%.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Shared Ownership, you will need to:

• Have a combined household income under £80,000 per annum
• Be unable to purchase a suitable home on the open market
• Not already own a home or you will have sold your current home before you purchase
• Meet one of the standard criteria, such as being a first time buyer or forming a new household
