What is shared ownership?
Shared ownership is one of the schemes offered under the Government’s Help to Buy initiative and provides an affordable route into homeownership, offering an alternative to renting. You buy a share of a home and pay rent on the share you do not own. Initial shares are between 25% and 75%. You can put down a deposit based on the share you are purchasing, meaning it will be considerably less than a deposit on the open market.
In the future, if you wish to own more of your home, you may be able to staircase, which means buying more shares of your property. You are also able to sell your share of the property based on its value at the time of sale.
Some of the best benefits of shared ownership include: your monthly costs will be lower than if you rent privately, you own part of your home rather than paying rent with no return, a lower deposit is needed, you may be able to purchase 100% of your property, you pay a subsidised rent and you’ll be alongside the thousands of people using this scheme to get on to the property ladder. There are approximately 200,000 shared ownership homes in the UK and many more to come.
