Shared ownership

Shared ownership is when you buy a share in the property of between 25 and 75 percent of its market value and pay rent on the share that you do not own. The exact percentage is subject to the individual criteria of each new development or scheme.

Most people put down a small deposit on their share (minimum 5 - 15%, depending on your mortgage lender) and take out a mortgage on the rest. You can then 'staircase' your share in the property - building up to 100% in most cases.

Register for shared ownership
You will need to register your interest via our website and complete an affordability assessment with one of our panel mortgage advisors.

Am I eligible?

If your annual household income is more than £80,000 you will not be eligible.
You will also need £2,000 to cover the legal costs of buying a home, plus enough money saved for your deposit. You must not be in mortgage/rent arrears. You must be able to obtain a mortgage and prove that you can pay your rent and service charges.
