What is Shared Ownership?
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 property, The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own, and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. Because the purchaser only needs a mortgage for the share they are purchasing, the amount of money required for a deposit is a lot lower when compared to the amount that would be required when purchasing outright.
The purchaser has the option to increase his share during their time in the property via a process known as 'staircasing', and in most cases can staircase all the way to 100%, thereby owning the property outright. snared ownership properties are always leasehold.

How shared ownership works
With shared ownership, you buy between a quarter and three-quarters of a property. You have the option to buy a bigger share in the property at a later date. These schemes are aimed at people who don't earn enough to buy a home outright. Most of the homes available are newly built, but some are properties being re-sold by housing associations.

Who can apply for Shared Ownership?
- First-time buyers or those who used to own a home but can't afford one now
- People whose combined household income is less than £80,000 (in London, it's less than £90,000)
- You rent a council or housing association property.
You don't have to be a key worker, such as a nurse or teacher, to apply for shared ownership. Military personnel will be given priority over other applicants.

Advantages of shared ownership
It can enable you to get onto the property ladder more quickly than you might if you were buying a home outright. You can buy additional shares as time goes on and you save more or pay off more of your mortgage It may be cheaper than renting (but not always) You can sell a shared ownership property at any time, and will benefit from any increase in value it's seen since you bought it.
