What is a resale of Shared Ownership

A resale is a shared ownership home that the current owner originally purchased—either as a new build or from another shared owner—and now wishes to sell on. It’s the same government-backed shared ownership scheme, but instead of buying a brand-new home, you’re purchasing an existing one. When you buy a resale: ~ You must purchase at least the current owner’s share as stated in the existing lease. ~The lease length is the remaining term from the original lease. ~ Shared ownership leases can be extended and detail your legal rights and responsibilities. Buying a Resale Home ~ Properties are sold as seen, so we recommend that buyers check all appliances and services are in good working order—just as you would with a standard property purchase. ~ A 5%–10% mortgage deposit is required for the share you’re purchasing. ~ You will pay a subsidised rent on the share you don’t own. ~ Over time, you can buy more shares in your home (known as staircasing) until you own 100%. ~ (truncated)
