How Does Shared Ownership Work 
The Shared Ownership scheme is simple, you buy an initial share of between 40% and 75% of the homes full value and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder.
You may purchase further shares (up to 100%) as your circumstances change, should you choose to.

Is It Cheaper Than Renting? 
Shared Ownership can be cheaper than renting privately as the mortgage cost and low rent usually add up to less than the equivalent rental payments to a landlord.

What If I Already Have A Home? 
If you already own a property you would need to have confirmed the sale of your home when you apply to buy via Shared Ownership.
Your application would be assessed based on your housing need for you to be considered for Shared Ownership.

Will I Need A Deposit? 
Yes you still need a deposit, but only on the percentage of the property you are buying. Mortgage deposits can often be from 5% of the share value.

What Is The Eligibility? 
If you earn or have a household income up to a maximum of £80,000 (or £90,000 in London) per annum, you could be eligible. You can also use Shared Ownership to buy alone or with another person as long as your joint incomes don't exceed the maximum earnings bracket.

What Share Is Available To Me? 
You can purchase any share from 40% to 75% of the initial purchase price, but some properties may carry specific minimum share restrictions. You will be asked to speak to a financial advisor to assess what share you can buy that is both affordable and sustainable.

Disclaimer: 
All Shared Ownership home sales are subject to eligibility criteria and a financial assessment by an recommended Independent Financial Advisor.

The suggested income levels on the pricelist indicate our recommendation of the household incomes required to purchase; however, applicants on a lower income may be able to secure a property but will need to contribute a larger deposit. (i.e. where you have higher savings, your household income can be lower than the figure quoted in the above).

The 40% share percentage quoted is a guideline and may vary according to individual incomes and circumstances. Charges include buildings insurance, estate management and a management fee. All figures are estimated and subject to change. Minimum income is based on a 6.00% interest rate and 25 year mortgage term.
