What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership, also known as part-buy, part-rent, is a scheme offered by Westward Housing to help make buying a home more affordable. Instead of purchasing the property outright, you buy an initial share using a mortgage or savings and pay a subsidised rent to Westward Housing on the remaining share.

Your Shared Ownership at Castle Green

Shared Ownership at Castle Green offers a flexible route to homeownership, allowing you to purchase an initial 40% share of your chosen property, subject to a full financial assessment by TMP. For example, Plot 34 has a full market value of £290,000, meaning a 40% share would cost £116,000. You would then pay a monthly rent of £362.50 to Westward Housing on the remaining 60%. Each home is offered on a new model Shared Ownership lease of 999 years. The current monthly costs also include a service charge of £34.41 and buildings insurance of £13.89. Rent, service charges and buildings insurance are reviewed annually, and costs may be subject to change.

Can i buy more of the property in the future?

Yes. This is known as staircasing. You may be able to purchase additional shares over time, reducing the proportion of the property owned by Westward Housing and therefore the rent payable. The options available will depend on the terms of your lease. For Plot 34, staircasing to 100% ownership is available. Shared Ownership offers a way to get onto the property ladder with a smaller initial share, while giving you the opportunity to increase your ownership in the future.
