SHARED OWNERSHIP INFORMATION What is shared ownership?
Shared Ownership, also known as Low Cost Home Ownership (LCHO), is an affordable way to step on the property ladder. Typically the offer share will be between 10-75% (depending on which model you are purchasing under) of the property depending on how much you can afford. The bigger the share you buy, the less rent you have to pay. You will need to be able to raise a mortgage for the share you want to purchase unless you have sufficient money to enable you to purchase without a mortgage. Any deposit you pay will be smaller than if buying outright as you will be purchasing a share of your home.

The Housing Association who will own the remainder of the property will charge a rent which is reviewed annually. In addition to the rent, a service charge will be applicable to each property to cover things such as building insurance and estate management charges.

All shared ownership properties are leasehold by default, which means you have an agreement with the landlord to own the property for a certain number of years. When the lease comes to an end, ownership of the property returns to the landlord.


Eligibility
In order to qualify for a shared ownership property, you must have a household income of under £80,000 per year and one of the following must apply:
- you are a first time buyer, or
- you used to own a home but cannot afford to buy now, or
- you are currently a shared owner
The following is also required for shared ownership:
- You must be able to access a mortgage and or savings for the share
- The property must be the occupiers sole dwelling, and at the time of completing a purchase of a shared ownership home the buyers must not own any other property or part of a property.
- Where a specific development schemes required you must have local connection
- Applicants must complete an application form and financial assessment, undertaken by an Independent Financial Advisor
- You should be a British or EU/EEA citizen, or have indefinite leave to remain.

Want to buy more shares in your home?
After you've lived in your property for a certain amount of time, you can buy further shares in your property (the terms of this will be set out in your lease). For example, if you start out with a 25% share of your property, you can buy another 25%, which would mean you own 50%. This is called staircasing.

You may be able to staircase up to 100% of your property, in which case you would own the property outright and no longer need to pay rent to Arches. Your lease will set out rules about stair casing. Similarly, if you buy full shares in your property, you may become freehold, but this varies from property to property. Please check your lease for more information on your staircasing and freehold options for your home.

For homes under the new model you have the option to buy a 1% share each year for the first 15 years. The price of the 1% share is based on the original full market value adjusted up or down each year in line with the House Price Index (HPI). The HPI is a national statistic that shows changes in the value of residential properties. Arches will give you an up-to-date HPI valuation at least once a year and again when you request to buy a 1% share. If either party would prefer an RICS valuation instead of HPI one can be ordered, the party who chooses to instruct a RICS surveyor pays for the cost of the valuation. You cannot roll over unused options to buy 1% shares to future years. The offer is limited to a maximum of 1% each year.


What if I want to sell?
If you wish to sell your shared ownership property, you will need to approach us in writing to advise us that you want to sell.


What am I responsible for?
As a shared owner, your responsibilities will be laid out in your lease. For example the lease will reference:
- paying your rent
- paying your service charge (this covers things like grounds maintenance and communal cleaning)
- having your gas appliances regularly serviced
- carrying out any repairs and maintenance the property needs, both inside and outside (please check lease as under new model some repairs may be covered)
