It's never been easier to own your dream home.
Shared Ownership is a great way of buying a new home based on what you can afford. You purchase an initial share between 25% and 75% of the property’s value, we own the remainder and you pay a reduced rent on that share. It means that you can buy your own home now, so why wait?
Buying with Shared Ownership means you need a smaller mortgage and a smaller deposit. The deposit you need for your new home is based on the amount you are purchasing.
You can buy more shares in your home when you can afford to; this process is known as staircasing. You can eventually own 100% of the property, and won’t have to pay any rent. The cost of the additional shares will depend on the current market value of your home at the time you wish to staircase.
