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.
Subsequently, a housing association or developer owns the remaining share. You then pay a mortgage on your share and rent on the portion owned by the housing association. As your financial situation improves, you have the flexibility to increase your ownership stake through a process known as "staircasing."
