What is shared ownership?
Shared ownership is another way to buy your own home. It provides first time buyers and those who are not already on the property ladder the opportunity to buy a share in their home.

You buy part of your home from the housing association and pay rent on the rest. Your deposit is smaller, and so is your mortgage. As you don’t need to save quite so much, it’s a faster first step on the ladder for lots of people.

In most cases, you can then carry on buying more shares until you own 100% of your home.

Who can buy with shared ownership?
Shared ownership is a great option for lots of people who meet the following criteria:

Your household income needs to be under £80,000.

You’re a first time buyer or in the process of selling your home.

You don’t own another property.

You must be able to afford the regular mortgage, rent and service payments and have a good credit history.
