What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership allows you to buy a share of your home, typically between 25% and 75%, and pay rent on the remaining share. Over time, you may have the option to purchase additional shares and potentially own the property outright. Monthly costs are often lower than buying outright or renting on the open market, making Shared Ownership an accessible route into homeownership.

Eligibility Criteria

Priority will be given to applicants with a live, work or family connection to the Parish of Alton or East Hampshire District. To be eligible, you must:

• Have a combined household income under £80,000 per annum
• Not own another property at the time of completion
• Be unable to purchase a suitable home on the open market

If you do not meet the priority criteria, you may still be eligible for Shared Ownership elsewhere. Please get in touch for guidance on alternative options.
