What is Shared Ownership?
Shared ownership is designed for first-time buyers who are able to secure a mortgage but are unable to afford the full cost of home ownership. Shares range of 25% to 75%, you buy the maximum share you can afford and then pay a subsidised rent on the percentage you do not own. In future, you will be able to buy more shares until you own your own home outright.
