What is shared ownership?
Shared ownership is a scheme designed to help those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to purchase a home of their own. This may be because you can’t meet the full mortgage repayments, save a sufficient deposit, or both. With shared ownership, you buy a percentage of your home and pay a reduced rent on the share you don’t own.

This property has restricted staircasing to ensure the property remains affordable for future generations of local people.

How does shared ownership work?
You will buy a percentage share of a home, independently priced at market value. Hastoe will charge you rent on the share you don’t own plus a service charge. This service charge covers things like buildings insurance and estate maintenance.
