What is Shared Ownership and is it right for me?
Shared Ownership is an affordable, flexible option for purchasing a home. It’s a great way to get on the property ladder if you can’t currently buy a property outright on the open market.
Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme in which you buy a share of your home and pay rent on the remaining share. Depending on your affordability, you can typically buy up to 75%. This means you’ll need a smaller mortgage and deposit to get started.
Homes built through the 2021-2026 Homes England funding programme are subject to the new model Shared Ownership lease. If this applies to a property you’re interested in, you’ll have different options for staircasing and will enter into a lease of at least 990 years.
The new model lease also includes changes to who is responsible for ongoing repairs and maintenance, with leaseholders eligible to claim up to £500 each year for the first ten years to put towards general repairs that affect your heating and domestic services such as electric and plumbing.
You can find out more about the new model shared ownership lease here.
