FAQs

What is shared ownership?                                               

What is shared ownership? It's a great way of buying your first home without the large amount usually required to secure a mortgage. The scheme allows you to purchase an initial stake in the property while paying rent on any remaining share. Not only that, but it also makes getting on the property ladder more affordable than ever before!

Still have questions? Take a look at our how does shared ownership work guide.

What is staircasing?
 

Staircasing allows you to gradually increase your ownership of your home, up to a maximum of 100% (depending on the terms of your lease), when it suits you. This gives you more power over the price and rent that comes with owning such an asset. By staircasing, homebuyers can take their time in making these decisions rather than having one large amount at once.

For more details on how staircasing works, take a look at our comprehensive guide.

Do I need a deposit when buying with shared ownership?
 

Absolutely, you must pay a deposit when investing in shared ownership. The amount will depend on the size of the share you choose and should not exceed 5-10% of your home's purchase price.

Who is eligible for shared ownership?
 

Shared ownership is a great choice for those who are not able to purchase their own property in full. This provides them with the chance to become homebuyers and enter the housing market.

However, specific requirements must be met before taking advantage of this type of investment:

To be qualified for this program, you must fulfil the following criteria: permanent UK residency, an annual household income of no more than £80k, and a proven capability to make ongoing monthly payments. Additionally, it is required that you do not own any other property at present.

Can I make adaptations/alterations or home improvements to my shared ownership property?
 

Before making alterations to your shared ownership home, ensure that you check with your landlord first. Depending on the property, certain guidelines may be in force and must be adhered to. Generally speaking, any adjustments need permission from the freeholder. It is important to acknowledge that whatever changes are made will remain part of the house when it gets sold; therefore, this needs careful consideration regarding finances.
