What is Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership is an affordable home ownership scheme which makes it easier for eligible purchasers to get on the property ladder. Buyers get a mortgage for the share they can afford, and pay rent on the remaining share.
Shared Ownership FAQs
Find out moreDoes Shared Ownership mean sharing with someone else?
No – this is a common misconception but the ‘shared’ aspect of the scheme simply means you’re sharing ownership of your home with a housing association.
If you decide to buy a Shared Ownership home in Nottingham, you’re effectively purchasing a portion of your property. Your initial share will usually be between 25% to 75%, paying a mortgage on the part that you own and a below market value rent on the remaining share.
Can I ever fully own a Shared Ownership home in Nottingham?
Yes – Shared Owners can choose to buy additional shares in their property by ‘staircasing’.
When buying a Shared Ownership home, you will initially purchase a minimum percentage somewhere between 25% to 75%. Down the line, if you find that your financial circumstances have changed, buyers will have the option to buy more shares.
If you choose to buy a higher percentage, your mortgage repayments will increase while the rent you pay will decrease. In the majority of cases there aren’t any restrictions and you can buy 100% of your home – in this instance, you would become the outright owner.
Do I meet the eligibility criteria for Shared Ownership homes in Nottingham?
As a home-buying product aimed at helping those who can’t afford to purchase a property on the open market, there are certain requirements that buyers will need to meet to be considered eligible for Shared Ownership.
For example, there are caps on household income which means that you must earn less than £80,000 to be eligible for the scheme – or less than £90,000 if you would like to buy a home in London. The criteria also states that buyers must be at least 18 years of age and do not own another property either in the UK or abroad.
How much does Shared Ownership cost in Nottingham?
Shared Ownership properties enable you to put down a smaller deposit compared to those required on the open market – buyers will usually need to put down 5% to 10% of the share that they’re buying, rather than the full market value of the home.
On a monthly basis, buyers will be required to pay their mortgage, a subsidised rent and service charge on their home, however, these repayments often work out cheaper than or equal to renting privately in the same area. Other costs to consider when buying a home include solicitor and mortgage broker fees – you can find out more about these costs on Share to Buy.

Jenny and David - Shared Ownership buyers in Kent
“The landlord at our old place kept threatening to sell up and leave us in the lurch, which produced a lot of anxiety. Now we’ve got a stake in something, we aren’t at the mercy of someone else - we wouldn’t have that freedom if we stuck in renting or bought somewhere outright. Shared Ownership has been a perfect solution.”

While many may only associate Nottingham with the tales of Robin Hood and his band of merry men, the residents of this stunning historical city know there’s much more to this land than men in green tights. Speaking of green, the entire area is circled in stunning greenbelt land, which also makes its way into the cityscape. This means Nottingham is an exceptionally beautiful place to live, thanks to its many parks and wide-open natural spaces.
Perhaps the cherry on top of this city’s truly unique good looks is that it’s not one to forget its illustrious past. This is exemplified through its many historical buildings and places of interest, which add a dash of intrigue to the landscape: peppered with plenty of stunning Victorian architecture. Certainly, this is a place with enough to keep even the most ardent of history buffs interested, especially when you factor in its incredible array of museums too.
However, Nottingham is far from stuck in the past. It boasts award-winning public transport links, which open up the rest of the country to those who call it home, alongside playhouses that showcase the best of the region’s theatrical scene, a terrific selection of music venues, allowing you to catch both upcoming acts and established big names, and enough pubs and restaurants to satisfy anyone, no matter their tastes.
Nottingham has improved so much in the last few decades that it’s now one of the best places to live in the UK in terms of living standards, as well as being one of the country’s top tourist destinations. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also considered a cultural and sporting hotspot, being called both a city of literature and “Home of British Sport” by Visit England.
