Shared Ownership application process
Register your interest
To begin the process, simply register your interest with Longhurst Group or our appointed selling agent.
Affordability assessment
Stage 1
To make sure Shared Ownership is right for you, our appointed selling agent's preferred mortgage advisor will arrange to speak with you to carry out an initial affordability and eligibility assessment.
Stage 2
Once you've found a property you would like to apply for, buying with either a mortgage or cash, the advisor will complete a full assessment with you.
Complete an Application Request Form
The appointed agent will help you complete an Application Request Form that will be sent to Longhurst Group.
Please complete all sections of the application form. It is important to provide all requested supporting information as incomplete applications can't be assessed. Longhurst Group will confirm the outcome of your application within five working days. Applications are assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reservation
If your application is successful, a member of our Sales Team will guide you through the next steps.
You'll be asked to pay a reservation fee of £250 if you wish to secure the property. If you're buying a new build home, the reservation period is eight weeks.
