Finding a home to buy

shared ownership header

Shared ownership is an affordable way of getting on the property ladder. You buy a share, usually with a mortgage, and pay a reduced rent on the rest.

It helps you to buy a home, if you can't afford a large deposit and mortgage payments, for a home that meets YOUR needs.

What is shared ownership?

  • What is shared ownership?

    You buy a percentage share of the market value of a home, and pay a below-market-value rent on the rest, which is owned by the housing association — but you are living there, you decorate it, and you decide when to sell.

    Buying a percentage means a smaller deposit and smaller mortgage. It’s a sooner first step on the ladder for lots of people.

  • Different types of shared ownership

    There are two different types of shared ownership leases.

    1. Homes built before 2021
    2. Homes built after 2021 with grant funding

    Please click on the links above to read key information about the different lease types.
