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.
