Shared Ownership gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new build or resales leasehold property. The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. The combined mortgage and rent is usually less than you’d expect to pay if you bought a similar property outright although this is not a guarantee.

To be eligible for shared ownership you would need to meet the following criteria:

• Your annual household income does not exceed £80,000.
• You have a deposit of at least 5% of the share value
• You do not own another property or have your name on the deeds or a mortgage for a property worldwide.
• This will be your only residence.

^This house has a 'Mandatory Buy Back' clause in the lease which means that when you wish to sell the property, the Housing Provider has an obligation to buy your share back. If you staircase to 100% ownership at a later date the freehold of the house will NOT be transferred to you as the Housing Provider will still have an obligation to buy the property back and therefore a lease will remain in place.
