What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership offers a more accessible route to homeownership by allowing you to purchase a share of a property's value, while paying rent on the remaining share.

Over time, you may choose to buy additional shares in your home through a process known as staircasing, potentially increasing your ownership up to 100%. For this property, the maximum share available is 100%, at which point the freehold will be transferred to you.

Deposits and mortgage payments are based on the share purchased, meaning costs can often be lower than purchasing a comparable property outright.

Legal & General Affordable Homes is a Registered Provider delivering Shared Ownership homes and committed to creating well designed communities and supporting buyers throughout their home buying journey.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Shared Ownership, you will need to:

Have a combined household income of £80,000 or less.

Be unable to afford the deposit and mortgage payments required to purchase a suitable home outright.

You must also be a first-time buyer, a previous homeowner who can no longer afford to buy, forming a new household, an existing shared owner looking to move, or a homeowner who cannot afford to purchase a new home that meets your needs. If you currently own a home, its sale must complete on or before completion of your Shared Ownership purchase.

This resale opportunity offers a chance to buy an established home through the Shared Ownership scheme, providing a more affordable and flexible way to get onto the property ladder.
