Shared Ownership, how does it work?
If buying a home seems out of reach, Shared Ownership* could be the answer and offers a great alternative to renting. This property has a 60% share available to purchase, and you will pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share, as displayed above. In the future you can purchase further shares in your home** or sell your share and move on.

*Properties are offered as leasehold.
**Some properties are restricted to the level of share you can purchase.

Please note: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
