Shared Ownership

What Is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a home ownership option that allows eligible buyers to purchase a share of a property and pay rent on the remaining share. Buyers may have the opportunity to purchase additional shares over time through a process known as staircasing.

Who Is It For?

Shared Ownership may be suitable for people who cannot currently afford to purchase a suitable home on the open market. Eligibility and affordability requirements apply and can vary depending on the property and housing provider.
