You can get a shared ownership home through a housing association or through us. You buy a share of your home, between 25 per cent and 75 per cent, and pay rent on the rest.
You can buy a home through shared ownership if your household earns £80,000 a year or less and any of the following apply:
Shared ownership properties are always leasehold. You are responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the property.
You can buy more of your home after you become the owner. This is known as staircasing.
The cost of your new share will depend on how much your home is worth when you want to buy the share.
It will cost:
The housing association or council will get your property valued and let you know the cost of your new share. You'll have to pay the valuer's fee.
If you own a share of your home, the housing association or council could buy it from you at market value or help you to find a buyer for it.
If you own 100 per cent of your home, you can sell it yourself.
