Shared Ownership

Eligibility:

Shared Ownership gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new build or resales leasehold property. The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. The combined mortgage and rent is usually less than you’d expect to pay if you bought a similar property outright although this is not a guarantee. To be eligible for shared ownership you would need to meet the following criteria:
1. You have a gross household income of no more than £80,000 per annum.
2. You are unable to purchase a suitable home to meet your housing needs on the open market.
3. You do not already own a home or you will have sold your current home before you purchase or rent.

This home can also be purchased outright (100% of the value) which is £170,000 and a purchaser would not need to meet the eligibility criteria listed above.
