Shared Ownership Information - The seller is offering a 25% leasehold share of the property. Orbit is the freeholder, and the buyer will be required to pay rent on the remaining 75% share, together with a small buildings insurance charge and, where applicable, a service charge.
To qualify for Shared Ownership, buyers must meet the Government’s eligibility rules. Household income must be £80,000 or less, and applicants should be first-time buyers (or someone who has previously owned but cannot currently afford to buy outright). Existing shared owners must sell their current Shared Ownership home before purchasing. The property must also be the buyer’s main residence and cannot be sublet.
