Shared Ownership

Shared ownership is a government backed scheme that supports people those who can t yet afford to buy a home outright. The scheme works by allowing you to buy a percentage share that you can afford of a leasehold home and pay rent on the rest. You will only need to secure a mortgage on the percentage of the home that you purchase meaning your deposit is a lot lower than it would be buying on the open market.
For example, you might buy a 50% share in the property and pay rent to the landlord for the remaining 50%. You may pay monthly ground rent and service charges, for example towards the maintenance of communal areas. The share you can initially buy is usually between 10% and 75%. As and when your financial circumstances change, you will be able to purchase more shares in your home through staircasing until you own 100% of your home.
