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 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.
