What is Shared Ownership? Shared ownership could be your step onto the property ladder. This home ownership scheme allows you to purchase a share in your home and rent the remaining unowned share.

How does Shared Ownership Work?

You buy an initial share of between 50% and 75% of the property's full value and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share you don't own. You may purchase further shares up to 100% of the full property value, as your circumstances change, although there is no obligation to do so. You will be asked to speak with a Financial Advisor to assess what share you can buy, ensuring this is both affordable and sustainable, based on your circumstances.
Shared ownership can be cheaper than renting a property privately as the mortgage cost and subsidised rent usually add up to less than the equivalent rental payments to a landlord.

Example

. Property Purchase price of two-bedroom house £238,500
. You purchase a 50% share = £119,250 funded through a combination of your own deposit e.g. (£5,962.50) and mortgage (£113,287.50)
. You rent the remaining 50% share = £119,250 x 2.75% rent = rent of £273.28 per month
. 75% is the maximum share price which you can initially purchase.
. There is an option to purchase up to 100% of the property value at a later point should you wish to do so. The property has a buy-back clause, and you will not own the freehold as this property is in a designated protected area.
. You enjoy all the benefits of living in a brand-new home
. You can stay in the property for as long as you wish and can sell the share you own at any time. You make the decisions.
