Eligibility
Shared Ownership is designed to help first-time buyers and those who do not currently own a home get onto the property ladder.
To be eligible, you must:
- Have a household income of under £80,000
- Be unable to purchase a suitable home on the open market
- Have a good credit history and be able to obtain a mortgage
Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme that helps people get on the property ladder. You start by buying just a share of your home. You'll typically only need a 5% deposit of the share you purchase, making it more affordable to get started. Buying a smaller share also means it can be easier to secure a mortgage and take your first step onto the property ladder.
You can buy more shares of your home at any time in the future, working towards owning your home outright.
This property is currently undergoing an extensive programme of refurbishment and to be sold in a completed state. The property will benefit from new kitchen, flooring, bathroom and decoration together with guarantees on electrics and other utilities and will benefit from a 6-month defects liability warranty.
You can add locations as 'My Places' and save them to your account. These are locations you wish to commute to and from, and you can specify the maximum time of the commute and by which transport method.
