Shared Ownership Scheme - The Shared Ownership scheme offers a pathway to homeownership by allowing individuals to purchase a share of a property while renting the remainder. Buyers can initially acquire a share ranging from 10% to 75%, with the specific percentage determined by an assessment of their circumstances* and subject to additional eligibility criteria. Homeowners have the opportunity to increase their ownership share through a process known as 'staircasing,' which allows them to acquire up to a maximum of 80%†.

In addition to their mortgage, shared owners pay rent to Castles and Coasts on the portion they do not own. This rent is calculated at 2.75% of the unsold equity per annum, payable monthly and reviewed annually.

The price listed represents a 75% share, giving you the perfect stepping stone onto the property ladder, in a home and location you’ll love, however the actual share purchased will depend on the individual applicant.

How To Apply - To apply, please visit our website at and complete the initial shared ownership and local occupancy eligibility check.

Application Process:

3. Stage One Assessment and Provisional Offer: If you qualify, you will be invited to complete an online form with our third-party mortgage advisor, who will carry out a Stage One affordability assessment. This step will confirm whether you meet the Shared Ownership allocations policy requirements and provide an indication of your affordability and the share you can purchase.
