For Shared Ownership the purchaser then pays a rent to the housing association for the other remaining percentage. The vendor has advised the rent for this property on a 50% shared ownership basis (i.e. for the housing associations' 50%) is £218.28 (as of November 2026)

You must not currently own or co-own a property.
Applicants must not earn more than £60,000 per household.
A formal application must be made to Your Housing Group
