If you already own a home and need to move but cannot afford to – or you have equity from a recent sale – please contact us, as there are some circumstances under which you may still be eligible. In some cases, due to criteria set by local authorities, you may be asked to show a connection to the local area where you’re looking to buy. For instance, you might currently live and/or work there.

Applicants with a household annual gross income in excess of £90,000 are not eligible for Shared Ownership in this area.

ELIGIBILITY

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 leasehold property. The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. The combined mortgage and rent is usually less than you’d expect to pay if you bought a similar property outright although this is not a guarantee.

To be eligible for shared ownership you would need to meet the following criteria:

• Your annual household income does not exceed £90,000.
• You have a deposit of at least 5% of the share value
• You do not own another property or have your name on the deeds or a mortgage for a property worldwide.
• This will be your only residence.
• You are a permanent UK resident or have indefinite right to remain.

*Service charges are estimated and may subject to change.

** This home can also be purchased outright (100% of the value) which is £820,000 and a purchaser would not need to meet the eligibility criteria listed above.
