What Is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership allows eligible buyers to purchase a share of a property, typically between 10% and 75%, while paying rent on the remaining share to a housing association or registered provider.

Over time, many Shared Ownership schemes allow you to purchase additional shares in your property, known as staircasing, until you own a larger percentage or, in some cases, 100% of your home.

The scheme is designed to make home ownership more accessible for people who may not be able to purchase a property outright.
