Shared Ownership Case Studies

We had always wanted our own home. With little money behind us and only one of us working we always believed we'd never be able to achieve it. Having 3 children, all of varying ages and needs plus only one wage coming in, we never would have thought that sitting in our new home today would have been a reality.

We had been local council tenants since being together and having our third child. We desperately wanted to own our own home. After many searches and visits to new build house locations we finally found the home for us. All we needed to sort out now was the mortgage. We are so pleased we came across Share to buy. After reading their website and other case reports we wasted no time in applying.

To this day and being in our new home for nearly 3 months now, we are so grateful to Share to buy for their continued support and dedication to our case. They helped us for over 2 months. After one major mortgage company turning us down, Share to buy threw us a life line. They never gave up on us. The time and help that was given through the Share to buy team was fantastic.

Thank you so much Share to buy. You really care about people and work hard and efficiently to make each and every one of their customers satisfied.

We were in contact with Share to buy from early on in our house hunting journey. We'd opted for shared ownership and after having initiated the assessment process with Family Mosaic, our research in S.O. mortgages landed us on Share to buy's doorstep. As a first time buyer, it's an onerous journey - there's a lot to understand and a lot to be frustrated by. We learnt a lot as we went along and what made the process of learning less painful by far was the indefatigable support and willingness Share to buy provided us.

Most people have horror stories about buying a house, and whilst we were lucky compared to many with what we had to endure at the hands of the mortgage lenders, Share to buy were continually searching for ways to ease our pain when lenders suddenly changed opinion on interest rates or even towards lending to us.

When we eventually secured our mortgage, with a lot of attention provided by Share to buy to ensure paperwork was being processed by lenders and that we had provided all relevant information, it felt a shame our relationship with Share to buy had to end!

We're giving Share to buy 10 out of 10 - they listened to us, quietly held our hands whilst we ranted and rang us up afterwards to congratulate us on our move; it really was gold star treatment. Thanks.
