You can buy a home through shared ownership if both of the following are true:

-Your household income is £80,000 a year or less (£90,000 a year or less in London)
-You cannot afford all of the deposit and mortgage payments for a home that meets your needs

One of the following must also be true:

You’re a first-time buyer
You used to own a home but cannot afford to buy one now
You’re forming a new household - for example, after a relationship breakdown
You’re an existing shared owner, and you want to move
You own a home and want to move but cannot afford a new home that meets your needs
For some homes you may have to show that you live in, work in, or have a connection to the area where you want to buy the home.

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 (10 to 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.

Am I eligible?
If your annual household income is more than £80,000 you will not be eligible.
You will also need £2,000 to cover the legal costs of buying a home, plus enough money saved for your deposit - which will be from 10 to 15 per cent of the cost of your share, depending on your mortgage lender.
You must not have loans exceeding £15,000 or be in mortgage/rent arrears. You must be able to obtain a mortgage and prove that you can pay your rent and service charges.
Remember you will also have to pay household bills including gas, electricity and water.

Eligibility Criteria for Shared Ownership

To qualify for a Shared Ownership home, there are a few key requirements you need to meet:

• Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
• Income: If you live outside of London, your total household income must be less than £80,000 per year. In London, the income cap is £90,000 per year.
• Property Ownership: You cannot currently own another home. Shared Ownership is mainly for first-time buyers, but if you do own a property (in the UK or abroad), you need to be in the process of selling it.
• Affordability: You should not be able to afford to buy a suitable home on the open market.
• Financial History: You must have a good credit history, with no outstanding debts or County Court Judgements (CCJs), and show that you can afford the payments and costs involved.
• Deposit & Costs: Typically, you’ll need a deposit of 5-10% of the share you're purchasing and access to around £4,000 to cover additional costs like legal fees and surveys, although this figure can vary.

Who Gets Priority for Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is available to anyone who meets the eligibility criteria, including first-time buyers, people looking to move up, downsize, or relocate. While there are no priority groups in areas where Shared Ownership homes are in short supply, military personnel and former members of the Armed Forces (discharged within the last two years) are given priority under government schemes.
In some cases, local authorities may require that applicants who live or work in the area be given preference, depending on local planning policies.

Affordability & Eligibility Check

Each applicant will need to complete an affordability and eligibility check with an independent mortgage advisor. Once you submit an enquiry, we will send you a link to start this process.

Who is it for?

As long as you are over 18
Your household income is less than £80,000
And you don’t already own a home at the time of buying your Shared Ownership property
… then Shared Ownership could be right for you
