Shared ownership

Shared ownership is when you buy a share in the property of between 25 and 75 percent of its market value and pay rent on the share that you do not own. The exact percentage is subject to the individual criteria of each new development or scheme.

Most people put down a small deposit on their share (minimum 5 - 15%, depending on your mortgage lender) and take out a mortgage on the rest. You can then 'staircase' your share in the property - building up to 100% in most cases.
