Shared Ownership, how does it work?
If buying a home seems out of reach, Shared Ownership* could be the answer and offers a great alternative to renting.

In the future you can purchase further shares in your home** or sell your share and move on.
*Properties are offered as leasehold.
**Some properties are restricted to the level of share you can purchase.
