Shared Ownership

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership, also known as "Part Buy, Part Rent," is a housing scheme designed to make homeownership more accessible. 

It allows you to purchase a share (usually between 25% and 75%) of a property while paying rent on the remaining portion. This unique model provides an affordable entry point into the property market, enabling you to build equity over time.

The benefits of Shared Ownership

• Affordability: Shared Ownership significantly lowers the upfront costs associated with buying a home, making it more accessible for first-time buyers.
• Flexibility: As your circumstances change, you can increase your ownership stake, eventually reaching full ownership.
• Reduced Monthly Costs: With a combination of mortgage payments and rent, monthly outgoings are often more affordable compared to buying outright.
• Equity Growth: As property values increase, your equity in the home grows, providing a solid foundation for future financial stability.
