Why choose Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership is designed to break down the barriers to home ownership by offering a part-buy, part-rent approach, allowing buyers to purchase their home in manageable stages. It is ideal for those who aspire to own a home but find traditional routes to ownership out of reach.

What is Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership allows you to purchase a share of a property, typically between 10% and 75%, and pay rent on the remaining share. Because you only need a mortgage and deposit on the share you are buying, the initial costs are significantly lower than buying outright.

A minimum deposit of 5% of the share being purchased is required. Rent on the unsold equity is reviewed annually in line with the terms of the lease and is usually linked to inflation.

Shared Ownership is not limited to first-time buyers. It may be suitable for:
-First-time buyers
-People who have previously owned a home but cannot afford to buy one now
-Separated couples looking to purchase independently
-Families needing to move into larger accommodation
-Existing Shared Ownership homeowners looking to move
-Retirees and downsizers
-Friends buying together

To be eligible for Shared Ownership, applicants must:
-Have a combined annual household income of under £80,000
-Not own a property or part of a property at the time of purchase
-Be 18 years or older and able to obtain a mortgage

Rent and service charges are reviewed in line with the lease. Buyers must meet Shared Ownership eligibility and affordability criteria.

This is an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals or downsizers to secure a modern, well-connected home in a thriving and characterful West Didsbury community.
